hey guys well me and my gf both had the cold. so we didnt handle the birds to much. but since yesterday vincent our macaw has been sneezing a bit, with small amount of discharge comming from his nostril after he sneezes just like us i suppose.

hes going to vet tomorrow for nail trim and check up, but i was just wanting to know is it something to be worried about. ????

He most likely needs antibiotics Our birds do not usually do well under a temp. of 65 degrees.

I don't think he means his bird WAS cold, he means that he thinks he caught a cold/sickness from them. :)

I don't think birds can catch human viruses, but I might be wrong. If he is having discharge, definitely get him checked out!
