I will be bringing my new Blue Headed Pionus parrot home in a few weeks. I have a cat and I am unsure about the saliva issue. I have read where it can be fatal if a bird is bitten by a cat. (saliva) If my cat is next to the cage and shakes its head, leaving a morsel of saliva on the cage bars, the bird then climbs the cage and touches the saliva with its beak, is this something to worry about? I know it wouldn't hurt to wipe the cage down a few times a day. I am a new bird owner.
