Bird Fancier's Lung - Avian Livestock Owners Please Read This....

A family friend of ours has just been diagnosed with Bird Fancier's Lung (Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis). It has been caused by his long term close contact with his budgerigars and chickens.

Years of inhaling components from their droppings and feathers has left him with 60% of his lung capacity. He needs to sell all of his bird livestock ASAP and avoid future contact with birds in order to save his life. As an experienced and life long bird breeder this is a very difficult situation.

I never knew about this disease until now. I'm posting this so that others out there who live similar close lives with avian livestock can educate themselves about this disease and manage their own risk factors.

Smart Birdy!

The white-necked-rockfowl is a beautiful species from Africa

They will follow swarms of Dorylus army ants and eat any of the other insects that try to escape the swam

A great example of working smarter not harder

If you have read this far why not follow us @animalfacthub for daily animal facts and pics!
