Yes, but it typically differs from the types of Diabetes found in humans and other mammals. In people, diabetes is caused by low levels of insulin. In birds such as parakeets, it's caused by an overabundance of a chemical called glucagon. However, like humans, birds with diabetes must be treated with insulin injections. Because avian diabetes is usually the result of a separate infection, the bird can oftentimes overcome its diabetes over time, and no longer require insulin injections.

All mammals have similar body systems, including endocrine systems. Diabetes is a result of the malfunction of a specific part of the endocrine system. The most common entities that you hear about having diabetes are humans, dogs and cats.
