physicians call parrot fever is com moner than may be supposed accord ing to the united states public health service the disease may be spread not only by parrots but by love birds canaries and probably by climbing birds in general during the 1929- 30 epidemic the public health officials were inclined to believe that it was necessary to control the importation of about 60000 parakeets and 330000 canaries in order to cope with parrot fever now it is thought that the disease spreads from places where climbing birds are raised and kept in unhygienic cages because its symptoms are chills fever and headache intensified in the worst cases by nosebleeding and chest pains psittacosis is often mistaken for influenza or a savere cold it is more likely to affect adults than the young during
