Contagious?
Everyone around here has been sick lately with colds and such, and I remember reading a long time ago that people can be contagious to birds and get them sick. Is this true?
Any information or precautions I should take?

It all depends on what you have. The common cold,Not that Im aware of. Psitticosis (Chlamydia) yes. And I believe that gives us nasty flu like symptoms of sort. You might ask an Avian vet as they would be the first to know what we can and cannot share.
