What Is Parrot Fever? Parrot fever, also called parrot disease and psittacosis, is very rare. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been fewer than 50 confirmed cases per year in the United States since 1996, although many cases may have gone undiagnosed or unreported (CDC).
Both wild and domesticated varieties can carry the bacteria, and some infected birds donât show any sign of illness. The disease is sometimes called âparrot feverâ. Humans most commonly catch the disease from infected birds by inhaling the bacteria from shed feathers, secretions and droppings.
