I picked up a parakeet from my local pet store it was definitely overcrowded cage was dirty not well kept but about 2 weeks later I came down with what I consider a mild fever but enough to keep me down my temperature is about 101°. I have no runny nose no sore throat no cough just a fever I'm wondering if I contracted parrot fever from my parakeet. I also didn't realize by kissing your birds especially on the beak that's the easiest way to get it which I did on several occasions I didn't realize you're not supposed to do that but every time I would you know tuck them in at night I would kiss them both will this if I do have parrot fever we'll just go away on its own or do I need to get antibiotics does anyone else have this
