Je ne suis pas d'accord avec toi Alexa. Il ne faut pas se priver d'un petit bec sec, je suis d'accord là dessus, mais je crois qu'il vaut mieux d'être tout de même un peu parano et faire bien attention avec les chiens et les chats.
Ne jouons pas sur les mots non plus, toxique pour les profanes que nous sommes et pour les biologistes et les médecins veut peut-être dire différentes choses, n’empêche que dans certains cas la salive tue.
Human saliva is not in itself toxic, of course. And your bird cannot catch a human cold from you. However, all mammalian saliva carries bacteria that could make your bird sick with infections of the sinuses, throat, lungs, air sacs, gastro-intestinal tract or internal organs.
Therefore, never let your bird make contact with your mouth--even for a quick "peck"--and do not bite off food for your bird.

Owners must understand that it is dangerous for pet birds to have direct contact with their owner's mouths. We carry bacteria and fungi that can cause serious infection, or even death, in our birds. Birds should never be kissed with an open mouth, nor should birds be allowed any contact with the owner's teeth, tongue, lips or saliva.

Any animal bite should be considered extremely serious, possibly life-threatening. The bacteria found in the saliva and the mouth of a mammal can cause fatal septicemia (infection in the bloodstream) of a bird in very short order. Cat bites should be considered the most dangerous, as the Pasteurella bacteria commonly found in the feline mouth, are extremely hazardous to birds. Even a simple puncture by a tooth can result in a fatal infection. Scratches from claws are also extremely dangerous, as the risk of infection is very real.

Any direct or indirect contact with feline saliva and your bird, including feathers-only, should be followed by immediate veterinary physical examination and probably broad spectrum antibacterial treatment. At this point in time, if your bird is alive, you are fortunate and have dodged the bullet this time. Pasturella multocida infection and sepsis is a very very nasty problem when it happens, and I would advise that if there is another event in the future you immediately contact your local veterinarian for assistance.

...It is a fact that even a tiny knick in the skin of a bird by a cat's claw or tooth can inject enough bacteria (that is normal to the cat) into the bird that it can die within 24 hours.
...Human saliva can carry bacteria that could potentially be harmful to birds. We do not recommend 'sharing' chewed food or letting a bird preen a person's lips.
