Just a general question prompted by the Psittacosis thread in this group:
are birds susceptible to human illnesses, like colds, flu, etc?  If I have
a cold, should I stay away from my conure?  Seems like that would be pretty
futile, since by the time I know I'm sick, it's usually well spread through-
out the house.

Thanks,
Bill
