Can you make your pets sick?

Please also don't forget that birds can get sick from the bacteria in human's mouths. That is why vets do not recommend feeding your bird anything that has been in your mouth. When my birds and I share something I try to always make sure the bite I give to them wasn't by a bite I just took. Just something to keep in mind.

I know I was afraid of it too when I had strep, but I found out that its safe to still handle your birds...I think I literally ran and got my guys out and played with them! LOL

your welcome too of course LMAO

LMAO good! You don't have to tell me twice it's been killing me! lol Thanks Tiff!

Ronda only zoonotic dissease can be transferred to your birds from you, zoonotic disease are things like chlamydia and such. So go pick up that new baby and love him up!! LOL

Ok I just found out that I have strep throat. I was kind of loving on our new addition Casper and I have since stopped because of the fear I might make him sick. I of course let him out and talk to him, well try to talk lol. But can we transfer germs to our birds by being sick and handling them? I wash my hands all the time, and even though I brush my teeth a few times a day actually I know a germ is still a germ especially when you have strep throat. So can I make him sick? Thanks!
