Parrot fever is a disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, also known as parrot disease or English disease. Humans can be infected with Toxoplasma gondii by contacting domestic parrots or ingesting food or water contaminated by parrot feces, causing diseases, including fever, cough, headache, chest pain, joint muscle pain, loss of appetite, weight loss and so on.

Parrots at home are prone to "psittacosis", because Toxoplasma gondii is easy to breed in bird droppings, and domestic parrots often defecate, so they may become carriers of Toxoplasma gondii. To prevent parrot fever, the owner of domestic parrots should pay attention to the following matters:

1. Clean birdcages and birdhouses regularly, keep them dry, and avoid stagnant water and peculiar smell.

2. It is best for the owner of parrot not to touch birds at zero distance, so as to avoid being polluted by excrement on mucous membranes such as eyes, mouth and nasal cavity.

3. Provide sanitary, clean and easily disinfected utensils and drinking fountains for domestic parrots, and change drinking water daily.

4. Take the parrot to the vet for health check-up regularly, and check the condition in time to avoid getting sick.

In a word, "psittacosis" is not a serious disease, but it still has some harm. Owners of domestic parrots should pay attention to the feeding environment and personal hygiene to ensure the health and safety of domestic parrots.
