What will be an ideal response?
?? Psittacosis (parrot fever or chlamydiosis)—Psittacosis is characterized by nasal discharges, listlessness, and
labored breathing. Testing and antibiotics are in order. Keep susceptible birds away from infectious agents.

treatment. Sanitation and cleanliness is of utmost importance.

which is treated with antibiotics. Consult with your veterinarian; also, control rodents and sanitation.

perches and sanitation of cages are important.
