Likely ok....: If you are not feeling ill-no fever, chills, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, rash, etc., then you are likely ok. The human body has a remarkable capability of neutralizing and getting rid of what is not useful. I'm not sure if the bird did anything to the food or what kind of bird it was- but if you begin to feel sick in any way, then seek medical attention. Happy vacation!
