Can birds get ring worm

Birds do not typically get ringworm, as this fungal infection primarily affects mammals, including humans. Ringworm is caused by dermatophytes, which thrive on keratin found in hair, skin, and nails, and birds have different skin structures that are less susceptible. However, birds can be affected by other fungal infections and skin conditions. If a bird shows signs of skin issues, it's best to consult an avian veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
