I heat my house with Gas and cook on a gas stove. I have had birds in this house for going on 3 years. They are fine. But, if your pilot light burns out and you have a gas leak I would imagine this would harm your bird.

Whenever I cook my birds are no where near the kitchen. Overheating a cooking oil on accident can cause respitory problems.

My stove has an auto-ignition switch (which means it doesn't ahve a pilot light that stays lit.) So when I turn it on it turns on the gas and lights it for me.

yeah, if pilot lights get blown out the gas remains on and will kill our fids.  My hubby's cousin lost her finches that way.  :'(

For the most part a gas stove is ok, you just have to be mindful of the pilot light.
