My birds are dying, and my family is sick. Could it be bird disease?

Question

We have 3 birds, found 1dead earlier and now a second is dead. My son has been feeling sick for a week & my husband has broken out in hives. Coincidence? Do birds carry disease? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | 1lb

Birds can carry disease that is transmissible to humans, such as psittacosis. Since you have multiple birds and people in your household that are ill, I would recommend scheduling a vet visit for your remaining birds and a doctor's visit for any medical issues your human family is experiencing.
