Well, bird flu, obviously.
Aside from that, I guess chickenpox is not on the list, even though it sounds like it should be.
Oh gawd, I hope nothing, I’m over zoonotic diseases. I would say they must have parasites capable of us ingesting?
Avian flu, as mentioned above.
The only other two I remember are Parrot Fever, and Newcastle? I have no idea if those diseases have been around recently though.
I know pigeons are said to carry germs, but I don’t know if they mean a disease that jumps species, like the ones named above, or if they mean the bacterias on them can give you stomach illnesss? I really don’t know the specific concern with pigeons.
