Can he have rabies?!

[Toddrick]

It is an interesting topic. I did some research and found that rabies does not travel through the blood, it can only travel through the nerves (where it works its way to the spine, then the brain, and finally, the salivary glands).

If birds cannot be infected, then I assume that means the virus cannot spread through their nerves. Yes, there are a couple sketchy reports of specific birds being "carriers", but they are so very rare that it shouldn't concern us, and I certainly do not believe that "all birds can be carriers". So I suspect the wound could be contaminated initially, but it wouldn't spread, and it would die off. So treating the wound of a bitten bird could be the most dangerous time, and I think I will wear gloves from now on .

Bird's can't get rabies (CDC is more reputable than Wikipedia

) but be careful when cleaning wounds. If any saliva from an infected animal makes its way to your nerves, via a cut on your hand or similar, it may infect you. If the bird lives, it should be safe to eat. If it makes you uncomfortable still, go ahead and cull the bird.

For future reference, wikipedia's information is not checked. It is a community-driven website, so anyone can edit the pages and unless it says something completely absurd, it won't be changed immediately. There were a few days where under "cannibal" it stated that "A cannibal is also known as a Shia Labeouf" because of that silly song "the actual cannibal Shia Labeouf"
