Overview

Bird owners, pet shop employees, persons who work in poultry processing plants, and veterinarians are at increased risk for contracting psittacosis. Typical birds involved are parrots, parakeets, and budgerigars. Other animals documented with C. psittaci infection include horses, cattle, and koalas.

Risk Factors

Psittacosis is acquired from birds, so people working with poultry are at a higher risk of contracting the disease. Other risk factors include:[1][2][3]

  • Being a pet shop owner
  • Handling of sick birds
  • Getting a bird bite
  • Visiting a bird park
  • Contact of beak to mouth
