I grew up with parakeets as pets and had parakeets nearly all my adult
life. I had a Fischer lovebird named Peaches (I remhomed her when I
moved to South Carolina). They weren't necessarily close to the kitchen
but there was a fairly open concept between the kitchen, dining and
their cage Nothing I cooked nor any cookware I ever used harmed them.
My parakeets tended to live to be about 15 years old.
