Mites

[Akara Crystal]

Can anyone tell me what does birds mites look like, what symptoms the bird will have and how to get rid of them?

I'm not quite sure what mites you mean. There is a photo of some feather mites here.

Henry had a few mites on his wings when the vet checked him.
He sprayed Henry and Tinkerbell, never said anything about follow treatment.
And I do not know what he used.
The vet showed me by holding the wings up to a bright light.

Hi this was from Anne Samantha's Mom. re Nenry's mites. Quote: 'mites tiels rarely get them...that is quite odd ok wait though this is the one that was out in the wild..in that case I understand. (please and I know you know this..no mite protectors in the cage those are pure poison) but sounds like it was well worth it to bring them to the vet ...glad they are doing well dear'

Would a bath get rid of feather mites? It looks like both my birds have feather mites on their tails.

It usually takes some meds from the vet to get rid of mites. Usually it takes 1 application and a follow up visit to see if they're gone. If one bird has them, the rest of the flock will get them so it's best to take them all in for treatment.
