Hello again, my name is Harley and I have a green cheek conure called blue. My mum was concerned that I would contract a life threatening disease from being exposed to my birds faeces and that I could face long term permanent lung damage from just being around my bird. I change his paper every day morning and night so I am never really exposed to his faeces but is it something I should be concerned about. Is it common to contract a dangerous disease from a parrot?
