-=> Quoting Fran Warwick to Wade Nevins <=-
 WN> Amazon, named TJ.  He has psittacosis and had his last treatment today.
 FW> After the treatment your brother should have the bird tested two more
 FW> times.  Before your brother comes to visit you he should shower, put on
 FW> clean clothes  and shoes that have not been in the birds area...until
 FW> he is certain that the  bird is negative.
 We're still waiting for the last results.  I gave them a 10 page info
pamphlet on psittacosis and warned them of what they were in for, in fact,
told them about the City and county health requirements for the disease,
which is supposed to be reported to local authorities.  But bro in Law wanted
TJ anyway.  His first new words in his new home tickled them.  Sis was 
elling
little Wade of the bird's poop, now the bird say's "YUCK YUCK" too.
 FW> How did the bird get the psittacosis. Is it around ather birds? Is the
I'm not sure, he was abused and neglected before Fran (same as you!) saved
him... I was told that he was caught wild, hand fed and brought into our 
rea.
When the Vet started treatments they said he was in bad shape...almost 
ertain
of liver damage.  My brother-in-Law and wife keep TJ in the living room while
their son's parakeet and cockatiel are kept in his bedroom.  Fran gave TJ
away because she breeds cockatiels.  She's also a member of the farret rescue
society in our city.
