A bird owner I knew had all of his very expensive parrots in outdoor aviaries in his back yard. He had no idea that the railroad ties surrounding his back yard were dangerous. On a hot summer day he lost almost every one of his birds due to the fumes coming from the timbers. These creosote soaked ties are even hazardous to human health.
