Warn Against Bird Ailments
A. M. Murphy of the health department warns that sick birds, especially parrots, can sick or kill people. Psittacosis spreads from birds to humans, resembles pneumonia, and has been regulated since a 1929 1930 outbreak with 170 cases and 33 deaths. He cites three public health steps: regulate parrot family traffic, quarantine and clean homes or shops, and educate the public on dangers of keeping birds as pets.
