Symptoms of the disease:
a . Intestinal infection: Mucous stools are sticky and smelly, and the infected bird spares clearly.

Dr.. Neurological injury: After penetration of salmonella to the brain and bone marrow, the neurons are subjected to a terrible pressure, which leads to the imbalance of the affected bird and then the occurrence of paralysis and tremor .., and it is recommended to exterminate the bird that reached such a dangerous stage.
