PSITTACOSIS

• Psittacosis (also known as ornithosis or parrot fever) is a rare infectious disease that mainly affects parrots and parrot-like birds such as cockatiels and parakeets but may also affect other birds such as pigeons.
• When bird droppings dry and become airborne people may inhale them and get sick.
