What respiratory illness are Goshawks particularly prone to?

Goshawks are particularly prone to aspergillosis, a respiratory illness caused by the Aspergillus fungus. This fungal infection can occur when birds are exposed to environments with high levels of airborne spores, often in captivity, where housing conditions may not be ideal. Symptoms of aspergillosis can range from respiratory distress to lethargy, and it can be particularly severe in Goshawks due to their physiology and the stress associated with falconry practices. Effective management, including proper ventilation and sanitary conditions in their environment, is crucial to prevent the occurrence of this disease in Goshawks and ensure their overall health and wellbeing.
