Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Bob, I think birds make the cutest pets. I am not familar with the different breeds but I have seen shows with some that are so cute. Is there anyway to check the droppings for anything that might be harmful? Besides histoplasma what do birds carry? would a pet be different than any bird in the wild? If so then if you get really deep how about when you go sit outside at a picnic table or patio chair that the birds have washed . That just goes with the terrotory. Sometimes I have wondered about barn swallows. I had a friend with the histoplasmos and they found it on a lund xray. They never did any further testing but they took out part of her lung. Later she found out it was not necessary and that a lot of people had been exposed to it without any problems. I love my animals. I would love for you to post some of your bird pictures if not off the subject. Take Care, sandy Quote
