Does anyone on here have any knowledge of Budgie ailments please? I had to take mine to the vet's yesterday as he has lost the feathers on his neck/chest area. He is being treated for a mite infection and had some spot-on drops applied, they last for a month. There were a few more feathers in the cage this a.m. He's still lively and talking and playing as normal. I just wondered how they get these mites or whatever they are? He isn't pulling the feathers out himself, so it's not a boredom thing with him. Never had this problem with a Budgie before. Thanks for any advice.

Can anyone tell me how I can delete a thread or a reply please? Sometimes I make an error that I don't notice before I post

'Options' on the right hand side lets you edit your post but only for a couple of minutes after you have posted. I don't think you can delete it without reporting it.

He doesn't have a dust bath, so I'll have to see about that for him; I often put a bath in with water in it, but he usually just stares at it then uses it as a toilet Ooh, I've gone all itchy reading about mites and their eggs.......it's as bad as when I found a spider in my bed last night!
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

He says all sorts, some things can't be repeated on here though! He says the dogs' names and "Go to Bed" "What are you doing?" "Stop it" all those sorts of things, and he mimics the dogs barking. He's lovely.

You should hear him when he swears, he puts such emphasis on the word, and he does it in my accent and tone, so I can't even deny it. Little beggar! It's a bit embarrassing when my friend comes to see me as she doesn't swear, LOL
