Rabies is a serious but rare condition in animals. It tends to manifest in the animal acting very strangely, foaming, and interacting in a very violent way.
There is no cure for rabies once you start showing the symptoms. If you get rabies shots before you show symptoms but very soon after you get bit they can stop the rabies. There are 6 known cases of people surviving symtomatic rabies.
Birds do not get rabies; the rabies virus primarily affects mammals. While some animals, such as bats, raccoons, and foxes, are known carriers of the virus, birds do not play a role in its transmission. However, birds can be affected by other diseases that may resemble rabies in symptoms. If you have concerns about an animal's health, it's best to consult a veterinarian.
Rabies was not discovered by a single person as it has been known for thousands of years. However, the first written record of rabies is thought to be in the Mesopotamian Codex of Eshnunna, dating back to 2300 BC, describing symptoms similar to rabies in dogs.
