Get Scatt from Foy's....and Scalex from a local pet store. Your bird
has feather parasites. Two drops of Scatt between the wings on the back
and spray the birds and living area w/Scalex or Sevin (Home Depot carries
Sevin in a spray). You can cut the toe half off a sock and hood the bird
to make sure that the spray doesn't get into eyes/nares.

ok,thanks for the help

 

Sure, the Sevin that comes in a spray at Home Depot is made by Garden Tech
and if you look on the front, the Active Ingredient is Carbaryl.....0.126%.

Spray under the wings and tail, and tops of wings, back and tail.

regular baths using salts keep the parasites low.

 

ok thanks for the advice

 

Hi PIGEON KID, Holes in the feathers are caused by the pigeon fly and you have been given good advice on what to use to rid the birds of this pest.But you must keep the loft very clean as the fly lays its egg in the dropping so removel of the bird droppings is very importent in ridding you loft and the birds of this pest. GEORGE

 

Thanks George, I did leave that out didn't I?
pk, you should also spray the loft after giving it
a good scrub down....
