FANTASTIC - WELL DONE - You have now just added the risk of infectious diseases to your other birds / flocks .... Want to know what you may have just caused Have a look !!! Bumblefoot Then there is .. Scaly Face & scaly Mites Mites French Molt PBFD These are only the visual diseases that you have just entered into your flock then there are the ones that you can't see MEGABACTERIA - CANKER - CHLAMYDIOSIS - WORMS & COCCIDIOSIS So next time you tell me that a bird has died when you haven't Quarantined Do NOT expect ((HUGS)) from me you have been told to quarantine for that reason BIRD OWNERS THAT LOVE THEIR BIRDS WILL QUARANTINE !!!! - Now the whole Vet thing - A pet is apart of your family, When your sick you go to the Dr don't you !!! Why deny your Budgie that too!!! Just because it is a $10 Bird doesn't mean that it will be a cheap bird for the rest of it's life - If you can not afford a vet bill GO WITH OUT A NEW PAIR OF SHOES OR A SHOUT AT THE PUB!!!!! HEALTH IS NO1 PRIORITY FOR HUMANS WHY DENY THAT TO OUR PETS Edited July 16, 2009 by KAZ Link to comment

Education is the key and well done for showing what can happen if quarantine is not completed. There is also: Psittacosis Psittacosis is a serious infection of birds and humans which is caused by the virus-like bacteria Chlamydia psittaci. Most birds have been exposed or may carry the disease but in this state it does not cause any problems and they are not contagious. However, Psittacosis may become highly contagious (it is spread by the air or by the droppings) from bird to bird and even from bird to man when stressful conditions prevail. MEGA (Megabateria) Megabacteria has been spoken of a lot in the last few years. It is a diseases that may well be present in most bird rooms but will remain undetected unless it is diagnosed by a Vet. Megabacteria is an organism that lives in the intestines of an infected bird. This may be present in the aviry but only some of the birds will have problems: SOME SIGNS: The bird in the first stages show no symptoms at all, but as the infection progresses the bird will look ill, fluffed up increase in appetite. It will also start to lose a lot of its body weight., over a 12 month period, Looks like it is eating But it isn't occasional vomiting, Poo may be enlarged and frothy with some seed or even blood in it. On examining the bird you will be able to feel the breast. Separating and treating the bird with the general antibiotics will have little success in killing off this bacteria. TREATMENT MEGABAC-S and it can be obtained from Vetafarm. MEGABAC-S comes in either capsules or in powder form and should be placed in the drinking water for 10 days As with all infections extra attention should be placed on hygiene within the aviary.

LIV i see it this way if you don't quarantine you don't CARE!!!!! It is much better to understand why with a visual image! So to all of you out there - if it is to gross to look at GOOD! imagine that in your cage / aviaries Edited November 5, 2008 by Neat Link to comment

If you discover a disease on that bird, you only have to treat that bird. That equals less harm done, less suffering, less money to spend on treatment and less of a chance of you becoming infected. Hey, I'm sorry I haven't written that article . I will get onto it sometime. Life is quite hectic at the moment. Link to comment

This is what is used by the RSPCA to assess complaints, etc and while it is unlikely they would ever prosecute the average person with one or two birds there are actually hefty fines for non-compliance including not providing adequate quarantine!!

I'd never thought of it as a legal responsibility... like caring for children. Good parents don't neglect clothing and feeding their children cos they've "only got one or two", so why would pet owners neglect basic welfare strategies cos they have "only got one or two"!

Well in a cage inside an aviary is near other birds. Quarantine is minimum 5 metres away and in another room.....seperate air space. Not near any other birds. Link to comment
