The increasing progress of the poultry industry, on the one hand, and increasing the popularity and maintenance of pet birds in the home, on the other hand, has increased the need for research on diseases that can be transmitted from birds. People who deal with birds should be aware that some bird diseases can be transmitted to humans and, if necessary, know how to deal with them. Children, the elderly, and people with immunodeficiency are more likely to develop zoonotic diseases. Zoonoses can be parasitic, fungal, bacterial, or viral. The susceptibility to zoonotic disease depends on factors, such as age, health status, immune status, and primary treatment. The ability of a microorganism to cause disease depends on the severity of the agent and the way the pathogen enters the host's body. Therefore, this review will provide brief information on different diseases that can be passed from birds, including pet birds, industrial and backyard chickens to humans, which present on the basis of their etiology, independently.
