Bullshit, I have worked in wildlife rescue and none had problematic lice infestations. Rescue birds are typically less healthy than normal. Birds have feather lice but that's a different species of lice than rodent:

Bird mites (avian mites) are parasitic arthropods in the acari (tick/spider) family. There are reportedly 45,000 species of mites that are known. Only a few species of acaroid mites are parasites on mammals;
...
There are two main species of bird mites commonly found in North America. These are Demanyssus Gallinae (D. Gallinae) and Ornithonyssus Sylviarum (northern fowl mite or NFM). There are also other bird mite species found mainly in other regions of the world that are very similar, such as Ornithonyssus Bursa (tropical fowl mite). Most researchers contend that there could very well be other parasitic bird mite species still unclassified.

Hair and feather are different species and don't live in the same environment/feed on the same thing/species. Your statement is nonsense. It's like worrying about disease fish get even though you're human.

Unless you're talking about zoonosis, a disease that affects other species doesn't matter to you.
