Is it really true that turning on a microwave with nothing in it will
break it?

Even more worrying - will it catch fire or explode?

Don't they have a safety cutout? Can't it sense the Klystron overheating,
or a build up of microwaves over a certain level?

I have purchased a new microwave which has an easier to grab control. I'm
concerned one of my pet parrots will switch it on! (Seriously, they do
stuff like that)

Parrots are smart. One will go inside, next one could shut the door and turn
it on. Baked parrot for supper?
