@america....@pfists made a comment you should check. It seems questionable that all birds would be carriers....but possibly some that appear sick. I am just not sure from the responses but would think it might be good to run it by a really good Doctor that is up to date before you would make any decision about your pet. It seems you can get this from most everything!!! Even the kitchen sink! Kate

@pfists I’m sure proper hygiene of any pet is a big factor, too.

I think the best advise is to run it by your Dr. like you said Kate.

Many of the diseases are related to bat droppings or pigeon coups where you are exposed to lots of droppings and from ill birds.
If you had a bird a long time and its not sick and its not exposed to other sick animals I think it's probably safe.
