Can unbirella cockatoo get fleas?
Cockatiels don't get fleas, but they can get other kinds of parasites like mites and ticks. The best way to prevent parasites is to prevent contact with wild birds. DO NOT use chemical bird protectors or mothballs. They might be sold by unscrupulous pet stores, but they are not safe to use around your bird. If you suspect that your bird might have parasites, you should contact your avian veterinarian for treatment. Don't try to treat an infestation yourself. -------- No, they don't get fleas and can get mites as said above. However, I have used the bird protectors for 14 years now and can report my bird is very healthy and happy. (We also let him out almost every day, which probably accounts for his happy nature!)

Why does this cat never had fleas at two years old with no treatment?
this female cat has never had fleas and has a litter of three that also has no fleas with no treatment. i have never heard of such. can someone tell me what kind of cats these are, I'm sure that they are rare. A cat must come in contact with a flea order to have them. In dry climates like Nevada most animals never get fleas and no treatment is ever necessary as the fleas can not survive. Your cat has probably never come in contact with them and if it has may be very good at cleaning itself to remove them.

It mostly depends on if you let it out or not. I let mine out for exercise everyday which gives my rabbit a healthy lifestyle. But I also have a dog and we all know dogs get fleas so I have to be careful of that. So yes there probably is a chance so just check him/her regularly.
Do cat fleas spread on people?
Fleas don't usually live in human hair but they sure do bite. So if you're living with a cat who has fleas be ready to wake up in the morning with red bite marks all over your skin. Sometimes fleas do live in human hair but as soon as they find an animal body they go there. Fleas produce 50 eggs a day and these eggs get into the carpets and floorboards and can hatch up to 13 years later ! So there are plenty of fleas to come on to humans too.
