Certainly, birds can indeed get infected with Salmonella bacteria. While various species of birds can carry Salmonella, it’s particularly common in poultry such as chickens and turkeys. These birds can harbor Salmonella in their intestines without showing any signs of illness. When humans come into contact with contaminated bird feces, feathers, or eggs, there’s a risk of contracting Salmonella infection. Therefore, it’s important to practice proper hygiene when handling poultry and their environments to reduce the spread of Salmonella bacteria and minimize the risk of illness.
