Budgie ailments

[carolyorkie2010]

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.

Tell him not to bash his budgie too hard Carol, no wonder it's red.

I wondered after I had posted that remark, what comments it might attract, LOL Sounds a bit dodgy.

so how is Mr bleep bleep budgie doing then? feathers returning?

[carolyorkie2010]

Hopefully they are, CB. I got some vitamin drops to put in his water to jig him along. There was one of the singers on the Voice last night where he said "" and I agreed with him, but he was chirping away when will.i.am and Jermaine were singing a duet. He must know that I like will.i.am Will keep you informed as to the little chap's progress.

I don't understand why my word got bleeped out, as I had put an asterisk in place of one of the letters; maybe I should have put two! Yes, I like will.i.am, Rose, mainly because he's a bit eccentric, shall we say, and also the fact that he has done well for himself, having had a poor start in life.
