You have 2 very good options above. If you would like to be completely natural, buy some human grade diatomecious earth and work it into the the feathers.
avoid eyes and nares in the cere. DE is used in chicken feed to repel both internal and external parasites. I use it in a spray called Dynamite. It takes a while to eliminate the mites/lice but it is very safe.
The DE is composed of the microscopic skeletons of tiny marine flora/fauna that the great baleen whales strain out of the ocean. DE is found all over the world in bodies of water both fresh and salt water. It is not harmful to fish, birds, humans and animals but creatures that have external soft bodies and insects that have exo skeletons like ants, roaches, etc. it is used in marine aquarium filters, organic garden insect / snail killers and in /on birds/animals for fleas /mites etc. The only draw back I have seen is that it takes a while to crack the exo skelleton and dry the internal structures out. it is completely organic and it does not, so far, develop resistant mutations in the parasites. We buy the human grade on the net, and it is very reasonable in cost. Best Wishes, Jo Ann
