Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that fumes from overheated PTFE non-stick pans kill pet birds?

Yes. A 1975 veterinary case report documents five cockatiels dying within 30 minutes of exposure to fumes from an accidentally overheated PTFE-coated frying pan, and a 2015 case report confirms overheated PTFE generates toxic fumes.
