Re: Common Diseases in Pet Birds and How to Detect Them

Giardia is a common protozoal disease that causes a wide array of symptoms, including diarrhea, impaired absorption of nutrients and dry skin. Some affected birds pluck their own feathers in an attempt to relieve itching. Giardia can be treated with medication, but is sometimes difficult to cure.
