A bird’s anatomy is vastly different from ours. For the record, MOST common colds and flu can’t be given to your birds. Avian flu, yes but if you’ve got that then that’s like worrying about gonorrhea when your leg just got shot off. So if you’re sick, you can still at least let your bird out for a bit as you eat your chicken soup. Although, you may never eat in peace again as many Facebook posts and memes can attest since whatever you have… is also your bird’s but birds still need to be let out. Plus, birds are sensitive creatures. They can usually tell when you’re sad or feeling bad. They usually come and try to comfort you but they’ll still try to take your soup which is a no no due to its high sodium content but that’s in the “What NOT To Do” section.
