Most heat lamps are dangerous for birds!
The big red heat lamps a lot of us use for our birds are coated with Polytetraflouethylene, which is known by the brand name Teflon®. This coating cannot safely be used around birds. I found a brand, Sylvania, that according to their email to me does NOT contain Teflon®. “These bulbs do not contain a teflon coating. The red is simply a red lens.” This is a direct quote from an email I received from Sylvania.com. I found the bulbs at Lowes and they cost around $10 each.You can read more about the dangers of Polytetraflouethylene here.
