                                              Heavy Metal Poisoning Heavy metals such as lead and zinc are common throughout the environment, so limiting your bird's exposure to them is important. Birds should not be allowed to play outside their cages without supervision. The environment should be inspected for the presence of heavy metals, and the sources should be removed from the area if possible. Because cage and fencing materials are common sources of heavy metals, proper selection of nontoxic materials is important. Stainless steel and welded wire should be used. Cage clips should be made from alloys that do not contain lead or zinc. Lead and zinc poisoning are the 2 most common poisonings in caged birds. Zinc poisoning is now more common than lead poisoning, due to the heightened awareness of the dangers of lead, and the increased use of galvanized materials. Galvanization is a process of coating other metals such as iron with a zinc-based surface to prevent rust. Th

                                                    Bacterial Diseases Several types of bacteria can cause disease in birds. Some are normally present in the bird's body or environment, but do not cause disease except under certain circumstances, such as in birds that are very young, old, weak, stressed, or that have an impaired immune system. Escherichia coli ,  Pseudomonas ,  Aeromonas ,  Serratia marcescens ,  Salmonella ,  Klebsiella ,  -Enterobacter ,  Proteus , and  Citrobacter  species are bacteria that are frequently isolated in birds.  Pasteurella  species have been reported as possible agents causing infection in birds bitten by other animals, such as pet cats or rats.

      Disorders Affecting Multiple Body Systems of Pet Birds                                                                      Polyomavirus Polyomavirus was first identified in budgerigars (budgies), then in other parrots and parakeets, and most recently has been shown to cause disease in finches. Polyomavirus can infect birds of all ages, but nestlings and juveniles are the most susceptible. Affected birds may have a lack of appetite, diarrhea, and generalized weakness, and the onset of these signs is usually rapid. Bruising of the skin and muscles may also occur, and the infection may target the heart, liver, and kidneys. Infection is usually fatal, and death may occur in 24 to 48 hours. If a bird survives, it may have abnormal feather growth, heart disease, and liver damage as an adult. Adult birds may be carriers of the virus and can spread infection. The prevalence of this virus in adult parrots and budgies is thought to be high. Polyomavirus can be passed from the
