:So....two questions here......
:Should we stop using it, or does it take more than just a frying pan to create a dangerous situation?
Teflon when heated will emit a toxic fume which is dangerous to humans as well as birds. The difference is that birds have a much more delicate breathing system than we do, thus they are more readily affected.
Here is the URL to an article that will give you more information:

:And...
:Can anyone recommend a good cookware (that isn't teflon coated) that won't make my eggs stick to the pan? LOL
:(sounds silly, but I am serious ;-)
Personally, I have used cast iron for years, long before I even had birds. A well seasoned cast iron pan is much better than any non-stick coated pan I have ever tried. And they come in a multitude of sizes -- omlet to dutch oven. If there's an intruder, my 15" cast iron *skillet* will do some serious damage! ;-)
