Pet Birds & Sinus Infections in Humans
Sinus infections are usually most noticeable during allergy season, when plants are in bloom and pollen is in the air. But sinus infections can also be caused by pets and their dander, including birds. Birds give off their own form of pet dander that can irritate sinuses.

What Causes Pet Allergies?
Allergic reactions are triggered by various molecules, particularly proteins, which are referred to as "allergens." All dogs have allergens in their skin, saliva, and urine. No matter how long or short their hair, or what type of breed, no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

Deafness - a range of causes
Deafness is caused by many different events, including injury, disease and genetic defects. One of the most common causes of deafness is exposure to loud noises. A deaf person may have mild to profound hearing loss. Temporary deafness has many causes, including wax in the ear, drugs or an infection. Tinnitus (ringing in the ear) may occur on its own, or in conjunction with hearing loss.
The ear is our organ of hearing. At around 20 years of age, our hearing starts a gradual decline. Higher frequencies are usually the first to go. This age-related hearing loss is normal and doesn’t lead to total loss of hearing. Deafness can range from mild to profound and is caused by many different events including injury, disease and genetic defects.

Allergic rhinitis
Introduction:
Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction that happens when your immune system overreacts to substances that you have inhaled, such as pollen. The two types of allergic rhinitis are seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and perennial allergic rhinitis, which occurs year-round. Hay fever is caused by outdoor allergens. Perennial allergic rhinitis is caused by indoor allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, and mold.
Symptoms of allergic rhinitis resemble a cold, but they are not caused by a virus the way a cold is. When you breathe in an allergen, your immune system springs into action. It releases substances known as IgEs into your nasal passages, along with inflammatory chemicals such as histamines. Your nose, sinuses, or eyes may become itchy and congested. Scientists aren't sure what causes your immune system to overreact to an allergen.
Allergic rhinitis is common, affecting about 1 in 5 Americans. Symptoms can be mild or severe. Many people who have allergic rhinitis also have asthma.

Sore Throat
A sore throat usually goes after a few days. Simple treatments that you can buy can ease symptoms until the sore throat goes. Usually, you would only need to see a doctor if symptoms are severe, unusual, or if they do not ease within 3-4 days.
