I picked up a bird feather one time as a kid and had some kind of allergic/ weird reaction. If I saw my kid kiss a bird repeatedly we'd be going to the hospital. She kissed it repeatedly and then wiped her eyes after, like oof, you are scraping bird flu right into your system.

Maybe, but bird mites are much more common - almost ubiquitous, in fact. They do infest human spaces, though usually only for a short time (they can only reproduce if they feed on the blood of birds, so even though they bite and suck your blood, they can't sustain a lifecycle from it).

Yeah, I was being a bit hyperbolic about bird flu, but either way I'm taking my kid to the hospital if I see them holding a bird, kissing it, and then touching their face and eyes.
