Just went to the doctors and was tested for the flu. It came back positive for influenza A.
I’ve read online that birds are not succeptible to colds or flus so long as the infection is not bacterial.
I am confused though because I’ve also read that Influenza A is the avian flu and can infect birds as well.
I am sick so maybe I’m interpreting this information wrong, but if anyone had some advice I could really use it.
My green cheek conure was playing with me all day yesterday and it was only during the night time when I started to feel especially awful. I’m really worried I’m going to get him sick. I’m keeping my distance now, but still. I’m worried about previous interaction!
Thanks in advance everyone!
