Bird disease strikes in DIY store

A man who contracted psittacosis after exposure to an infected parrot has been awarded £700,000 in an out-of-court settlement.

Glyn Atherton, aged 35, worked in Focus DIY at Nottingham at a time when the store sold African Grey parrots. Mr Atheron, who is now confined to a wheelchair, had regularly walked past the bird’s cage but was not directly involved with the pet section. Focus DIY has since stopped selling pets at all of its stores
