Avian transmission of disease to humans is extremely rare, so without going into too much detail about illnesses with bird>bird mortality, I'll opt for being concise and say 'No.' Although crows are generally demonised mostly because of old fashioned farm cultures and mentalities.
No, rabies is only infective to mammals, so fish (and reptiles, amphibians and birds) are all safe from it. However, fish have their own neurotropic viral infections, so it's possible to see disease in fish that causes similar signs to rabies in mammals.
What type of microorganism is Rabies?
It is caused by a virus that is bullet shaped: the Lyssavirus. It is one of the seven genera that form the family Rhabdoviridae, within the order Mononegavirale. The virus does not need a broken skin to enter the body.
Although the vast majority of Rabies infections occur as the result of dog bites, Rabies can enter the body by breathing bat guano, eating rabid meat,
solid organ transplant, contact of infected saliva to a mucosal surface, corneal transplant. It also can enter unbroken skin by handling the bodies of bats that are infected with the virus. The incubation period can be relatively short 4-6 days or long -up to seven years. Inoculation with IgG antibodies and vaccination at the time of exposure is successful in preventing full blown rabies which is fatal in 99.99% of the time. There have been several cases of people surviving rabies using the Milwaukee protocol, but again the chances of surviving are only increased to 2/10.

Do you mean to cure a fox with rabies or a person infected with rabies from a fox? In either case, any rabies infection is essentially the same. The person or animal must be vaccinated promptly before any symptoms show. One symptoms appear the subject is almost guaranteed to die with a survival rate well below 1%. At this point, if it is the fox that is infected, then it should be euthanized. The only treatment known to be effective on people once symptomatic is the Milwaukee protocol, in which the patient is put in an induced coma with a carefully selected group of medicines. With this treatment the survival rate is between 10-20%. Survivors face a long recovery.
How big is rabies virus compared to other viruses?
Most of the virus size fall between 10 naometers to 100 nanometers. The rabies virus is much bigger. The size of rabies virus is 180 nanometer long and 75 nanometer across.
Rabies incubation time varies. It depends on the time of the introduction (bite) to when the virus reaches the nervous system. It is a fatal disease of the central nervous system. This time can be a few days (if on the face) to months. Once it is expressed, it will be fatal within a few days.
