Hi there

Unfortunately there are deadly disease that you CAN catch from you bird. The one that I'm thinking of psittacosis. I can't think right now, but you should do an avian disease search and you'll be able to get more information.

If you know that your birds is healthy, I don't think there's anything to worry about. I kiss my bird all the time. One thing though, just remember it's dry kisses as our saliva contains bacteria that can be fatal to your bird. Sad
