Pink eye

[Tenleigh]

I found out that I have pink eye last night. I am wondering if my cockatiel can get pink eye from me. I found many different answers on google and other resources and I’m not sure if they are true. If anyone can tell me if birds can get sick with pink eye or can I contact them with sick and ended up getting them sick. Thank you!!

Yes they can. According to Dr. David Williams, DVM, in the Avian Medicine: Principles and Application book, they can develop it. Here is a link to the chapter on ophthalmology that is free online: https://avianmedicine.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/26.pdf .
