I think any bird can carry psitticosis...but would they have to catch it from outdoor birds? Pet shops are supposed to quarantine birds for a while to check for diseases like that, so you'd *hope* that any birds bought would be clean.

Someone is bound to know more than me though Smile

Hi Batty,

I think you can only catch psitticosis from species of parrots.

Its more likely to be the dust from their feathers causing your cough than any bird disease, I use my inhaler more now that I've got all my birds than I ever had before.
