Cooking onions


Hi, is the odor from cooking onions harmful? Thank you!


Answer:

Hi,

No – not from regular cooking. There are some concerns about using avocado oil around pet birds. Also, any food that is allowed to burn can create fumes that are not good for your birds.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
