black spot disease in parrots

[jonehank]

Hi,
I have heard of ''black spot disease'' that only parrots get.How is it caused and what is the treatment for that? Is it fatal?Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have some blood red parrot cichlids and everytime they are stressed, normally from bad water quality, they get black spots. that is a sign to me that i need to do a water change or check some other environmental variable and fix it. it has never been fatal for my parrots, and normally disappears within a day or two of fixing the problem. Test your water. High ammonia levels are usually what does it for my parrots.
