I recently found a bird in the park that had a really bad case of gout. I took in the bird but i'm afraid of my other 87 birds in my house catching the gout. Do you know if gout is contagious among birds?

Exotic Bird Lady in Exeter, I consulted an avian medical journal to help with this answer and I made a shocking discovery...EVERY BIRD AND EVERY HUMAN IN THE WORLD HAS GOUT. That is right, no matter what problem you seem to have it can always be traced back to gout. Got a parakeet...GOUT! Got a finch...GOUT! Got a spider bite on your ankle...GOUT! So please be careful around your bird and any other human you come in contact with because there is a 100% chance that you will get gout.
