 ==Overview==
-In [[medicine]] ([[pulmonology]]), '''psittacosis''' — also known as '''parrot disease''', '''parrot fever''', and '''ornithosis''' — is a [[zoonosis|zoonotic]] [[infectious diseases|infectious disease]] caused by a [[bacterium]] called ''[[Chlamydophila psittaci]]'' (formerly ''[[Chlamydia psittaci]]'') and contracted from parrots, such as macaws, cockatiels and budgerigars, and pigeons, sparrows, ducks, hens, gulls and many other species of bird. The incidence of infection in canaries and finches is believed to be lower than in psittacine birds.
