The purpose of this forum is to promote the BEST PRACTICES in the care of budgies for their optimal Health and Well-Being
Locating an Avian Veterinarian
Your little female is beautiful. It does look like she may have mites.
I recommend you treat her with either ivermectin spot-on treatment or Scatt for Birds spot on treatment.
You can take her to your Avian Veterinarian for treatment.
It's best to take care of the problem before it progresses. Do not try to use mite spray - it is very dangerous for your budgie.
What have you named her?
A Healthy Diet for your Budgie
Quality Seed Mix
CuttleBones, Mineral Blocks and Manu Clay Roses
Safe Foods for Budgies
The Truth about GRIT
