Federal health officials say that children younger than 5 years, pregnant women, people older than 65 years, as well as people with weakened immune systems often suffer from severe forms of salmonellosis.
CDC recommends the following precautions
Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and rinse the soap well with water immediately after touching the birds or anything in the environment. Use hand sanitizer if you do not have access to soap and water.
Do not let the birds inside the house. Be especially careful and keep birds away from cooking, storing, or serving food or beverages, such as in kitchens and in patios.
