Of course they are not allowed! And the reason is potential contagion, same as allowing your bird to interact with any other bird, pet or wild.

Yes I know I understand why. you dont need to use the exclamation mark lol so would it be a contagion for you to interact with another person or would the other person catch a sickness from you just an example lol to show you I understand why Rocko cant go to the Zoo because he could pass something onto the animals. :lol:

Yes, of course I could catch a contagious disease from another person, that is EXACTLY what contagion is and how people get sick.

The biggest difference is that many of the contagious diseases that a bird could get and/ or pass on tend to be fatal or incurable. So please be careful with Rocko and don't miss any of his checkups.
