I have discovered mites on some of my birds here. From what I have read they can be a tricky critter to eradicate. In the past I have done regular treatments on my birds using Eprinex but apparently Eprinex has little power over mites. I have been told about a medication out of the states but I do not feel confident suggesting it as I have not yet tried it.
Silly me, I thought if I isolated my new birds, and wormed them I would be safe.
I am not sure when I contracted these mites or how many birds are affected since I have bought birds from many sources at different times over the past year, but if you have birds from me, keep them isolated and treat them. I will try out my new drug when it arrives and let you know how it goes.
I am sorry if I have inadvertently sent you more animals than you have bargained for!
