Georgia’s Department of Agriculture has quarantined for at least the next month all birds sold at 35 PetSmart stores in the state. The reason is the outbreak of a bacterial disease that can be transferred to humans. State Ag commissioner Tommy Irvin says there are two confirmed cases of avian chlamydiosis--one at a PetSmart store in Hiram, and another in Woodstock. A quarantine was also called-for for a Superpetz store in Martinez near Augusta.
