How do most bird diseases/infections spread to other birds is it mainly through direct contact with a bird and a birds droppings. Can diseases spread in the air I am asking as before coronavirus I would take my birds to the groomer is this a good idea or not.

Certain diseases, like psittacosis, can be spread through airborne particles. However, a vet or groomers' office will be frequently cleaned and sterilised to prevent the spread of such contagions.
