Urgent Can my cockatiel get Stomach Flu from me ?

[Alireza]

Hi
One of my cousins had Influenza and after that all of my family got it. Now they’re fine but I have the signs of Stomach Flu. ( Doctor said it’s a Digestive virus )
My bird was on me all day ... Should I be worried ? What are the signs when a bird gets Flu ?

Also my bird’s right nostril is 50% full and I think my bird’s eyes are a little bigger than before.

Anything viral typically cannot be passed on to you bird. Anything bacterial there is a risk your bird could get it.

Thanks. How should I know that my bird is okay ?

Your bird is not going to catch the Flu. Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands.

Stomach viruses are not airborne anyway, so as long as you're washing your hands very well and making sure nobody else comes into contact with your saliva, nobody else should catch it from you.
