Plum Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hi Bronze, sorry I don't know anything but in case you haven't googled it I found this article, I don't know how valid it is http://www.internationalparrotletsociety.org/aviantb.html and http://wbo.bestofbreeds.net/article6.htm Some of these are full text http://www.searchmedica.co.uk/search.do?q=Avian+Tuberculosis Hope you don't have a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hm, looking at just a snippet of that info, it appears to be quite common (an american report though) in wild birds and the environment. However, it also says that infected birds may not show symptoms and indicates that persons with lowered immunity could be susceptible. Hope you are all OK Bron xx Worth getting more info from your local public health laboratory to find out where it came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
