Can i get my bird sick?

Q: i have a white faced cockateil and also have a cold can i get it sick of not?

A: Even if you are healthy, you can make your bird sick if it comes into contact with your saliva. When you have a cold/virus or bacterial infection, the risk intensifies. Wash your hands thoroughly, up to your elbows, and keep your face away from your bird. No kissing anywhere on his/her body until you are completely recovered, and then only dry “peck” type kisses.

Can a dog get a bird sick? ?

Q: I have a chihuahua, who is 3 years old. I have a parakeet that I have had for a week. My parakeets poops have been healthy and normal. Yesterday my dog had a bad case of the runs. She was in my room where my bird is and came in every so often and left. I picked up my dog and then was holding her when i was talking to my bird. I put my dog down and pet my bird and then left the room. Now today my dog is feeling better but my parakeet had some runny poop. Does this mean my dog gave my bird whatever she had. Or is it coincedence? My bird only had one runny poop. So I don’t think it is serious.

A: It is bad to let dogs be near birds because dogs saliva has germs and stuff that is toxic to birds. However, I do not think your dog gave your bird anything this time around. Birds have a VERY fast system- whatever they eat usually makes its appearance out the other end around 15 to 20 minutes later. If the bird ate something juicy, say a grape, they will have nicely watery poo very soon. Your bird probably had something juicy to eat or a lot of water. If it continues to have runny poop, however, that’s a bad sign and it needs to be taken to the vet ASAP.
