Pet Stores Put Bird Sales On Hold Due To Bacterial Infection
POSTED: 12:04 pm EST January 2, 2008

UPDATED: 12:41 pm EST January 2, 2008



CENTRAL FLORIDA -- Central Florida pet stores were on alert Wednesday. They are putting pet bird sales on hold while the Health Department tries to stop the spread of a bacterial infection that could infect humans.

Central Florida pet stores are part of a voluntary quarantine after birds from a vendor near Pensacola confirmed cases of psittacosis.

The vendor, Perfect Birds, supplies birds to local PetSmart stores and other stores.

Psittacosis is a bacterial infection that can be transmitted to humans through bird droppings in the form of a non-lethal-flu like illness.

The quarantine is expected to last 6 weeks
