Chlamydia in cockatiels 

Chlamydia psittaci is a type of bacteria that can cause respiratory infections in birds, including cockatiels. This infection is commonly known as "psittacosis" or "parrot fever." It is a zoonotic disease, which means it can be transmitted from birds to humans.

It's important to test your cockatiel for chlamydia because this infection can be asymptomatic in birds, meaning they can carry and spread the bacteria without showing any signs of illness. Testing is the only way to know for sure if your bird is infected.

If left untreated, chlamydia can cause severe respiratory and digestive problems in birds, and in rare cases, it can even be fatal. In addition, humans who come into contact with infected birds can develop a serious illness that can cause flu-like symptoms, pneumonia, and even death.

So, if you suspect that your cockatiel may be infected with chlamydia, or if you are planning on getting a new bird, it's important to have your bird tested by an veterinarian like BIrd Vet Melbourne  who specializes in avian medicine. By testing for chlamydia and other common bird diseases, you can help protect the health of your bird and your family.
