If one is polishing silver through pouring boiling water and a little bit of salt in a plastic boil covered with aluminum foil, and putting the silver in that bowl, can the damp be toxic for budgies? It does in theory contain silver oxidation

That's a good question and I don't know the answer.
I've been trying to google it but haven't had any luck yet.

According to Dr Ross - yes. And it does not take much to poison their itty bitty systems.

That's interesting -- I wonder why I couldn't find anything on-line about the fumes from using salt to oxidize the silver tarnish. :S

That's interesting. How would it poison them? How sick/what kind of ill would they be?
