Question

lice on my fantail


HI all,

Currently my pair of fantail sitting on two eggs.
I found lots of small small lice stick together into their tail feathers.
Its offen itching themself ,..

Two of them are pure white indian fantail.
Clearly can see the lices from the distance.
They all are stick together in the middle of all single area of feathers.
Many are found in small portion of area.

I don't have past experience with pegions..
Don't know what to do.

you can also spray a towel and wipe down the birds instead of spraying them directly.. or cover up there faces when spraying.

definately make sure that there living areas are nice and clean!


Also Ivermectin:

You can also use a regular parakeet spray from the pet store, for lice and mites.
