Can macaws get sick from tarantulas or bearded draogns just because they are from another part of the world?

Question

I have a rose haired tarantula and a bearded dragon but I don't want them to give or catch a disease from the blue and yellow macaw I want to get, they can't catch a disease just because they are from different part of the world can they?

p.s. the tarantula and bearded dragon are perfectly healthy.

Answer 1

I don't believe so but I am sure there hasn't been much research in that area.  I know several people that keep both without trouble.    I would make sure they are in seperate areas and that both areas are kept clean.

Even cat saliva is deadly for birds.  So always good to make sure that if either are out that they be supervised.
