The bird was still in the nest box about 24 days old, it was a report, not able to talk to vet yet

if its the  at the s,a c c [as theres lots of places at the bush estate ] i know the doctor quite well [the boss ] could you possibly name the vet?

[Wiley]

wasnt questioning that before you edited your post you didnt have that you hadnt spoken to vet yet, so therefore when you replied i thought you was quoting what the vet said was the cause! Just a bit of confusion

no , this is not the head doc, of the sacc ,, must be another dept

You need to know the name of the causative agent rather than the name of the disease.

 

Human Meningitis is really a group of different diseases, some viral, some bacterial. You'll recognise two names tho : herpesvirus and streptococcus [enterococcus] as pigeon pathogens, the 'human' versions of which can cause meningitis in humans.

 

Interesting.
