[monjur sayad]

Hi, Few days ago I notice That one of my budgie lost his feathers and its rough and also his tail is become smaller and less active. Today I caught him to give him suppliement but he bite me roughly and I get few drops of blood. So now, I want to know That if he have French Molt (Polyoma Virus) can it is spread to human from birds?? Can I get problem from this bite?? Can I infected by Polyoma Virus like Psittacosis, avian influenza etc. At this moment I am very tensed. I uploaded his picture. Is it actually French Molt (Polyoma Virus) or normal molting??? Thanks

Your bird looks very unwell. You should get it to a vet quickly.

I don't know if it is or isn't. A vet would be able to tell you that

French molt also known as feather-losing disease is contagious to other birds. Your bird looks very sick. There are a lot of diseases that mimic each other so a vet visit is critical.

Your poor bird certainly does not look well, I hope you manage to get him to a vet ASAP and that all will be well with him.

We can't tell you if your bird is sick or not. We are not vets. Get that bird to a vet now. It is your responsibility as a bird owner. This life is in your hands.

Remember, if it is french molt, every other bird he has been anywhere near will also have to be treated. Get to the vet!

No one can diagnose your bird over the internet. A proper vet check will look at your bird's feathers, check his nares and ears, listen to his heart and breathing, feel his keel, weigh him, and assess his overall condition. We can't do any of that from a photo. Your bird needs to see a vet.

Have you gone to the vet yet? Please do not delay.

Please see a avian vet asap. This is nothing to fool around with.

It is especially important to get professional treatment for your birds because they really suffer with this condition. It is also painful to them. @monjur sayad
