Freon R-22, a refrigerant, is considered harmful to birds, including parrots, primarily due to its potential to displace oxygen in enclosed spaces, leading to suffocation. Additionally, exposure to high concentrations can cause respiratory issues and other health problems. It's crucial to ensure proper ventilation when using appliances that contain R-22 and to keep birds away from areas where refrigerants may leak. Overall, while R-22 is not classified as directly toxic, its effects can still be detrimental to avian health.
