I have a friend who is studying vet science she asked me to ask you about chlamidiosis if this occurs in budgies. I tried searching it on the forum but unless its spelt differently I had no luck. Do you have any info on this I could pass along to her? Shes needs to know anything and everything on this.

YES, IN the health forum where you posted this is many many articles on it..........Pinned articles. Also called Psittacosis. And DEFINITELY YES is a major concern of budgies health. Have a look through the pinned articles in the health forum on here.

It doesnt have a different name for budgies. The correct name is Chlamydia Psittaci

oh thanks,

Do you know of any book titles that deal with this???

As its only one of many bird diseases, you most likely will only find articles...........we have a whole lot of them here already. Anthing else you will have to find on the net. Use the correct spelling and it should come up.

It is now called Chlamydophila psittaci. It is a bacteria that can infect all birds. In parrots it is called Psittacosis in other birds it is called ornithosis. It is also a zoonotic disease meaning that humans can get it.
