I do not believe asphalt fumes are harmful to birds, but I do know for a fact that seal coat fumes (Used to recoat asphalt driveways, etc) are toxic to birds, and humans.

Thats info about seal coat.. So, if someone is seal coating your driveway, do not take your bird outside. I have a little backpack like cage for my bird. It's really soft and he loves it so much. I wanted to take him for a walk today, but they are seal coating our apartment complex's driveways and roads. :( He loves going for walks in the summer because he is a tropical bird, and its always chilly in my apartment. I have a black capped caique. South American birdie :P .. if you are concerned about your birds health, contact a vet, or just use google ^_^
