budgie progress

visited the vets to get some advice on the budgies.
To make them better I am:
-giving fresh water twice a day with added multi vitamin suplement.
-putting scaly face mite treatment on their beaks/ceres.
-putting baby oil on their feet to smother any mites. (I'm not using the mite treatment on their feet because they get it in their mouths and that isn't good for them) also putting some baby oil around skylahs eye in case there are mites there.
-taking them out to be in the sun for at least 20 minutes each day & spraying them with water to help their feathers.
-giving fresh fruit every day (but so far they haven't tried eating it)




Bananas(yellow budgie) scaly face is starting to look a bit better.
Joey (male yellow face/green) doesn't seem to have noticeable mites on his feet or face so just adding a bit of baby oil as a precaution. But he still has a deformed beak which will hopefully get better with good nutrition.
Skylah: has an overgrown beak, and bad scaly face mites all over her beak/cere. but when that clears up she can get her beak trimmed, and hopefully will grow feathers back around her eye.

poor skylahs eye!

new rescue budgies

There have been 3 budgies at work for a while out the back because they have scaly face mites, and are not very well.
Today my boss asked if I wanted to take them home as they just aren't recovering there. So its my new mission to get them healthy :)


theres two girls and a boy, one of the girls is an english budgie and I'm considering keeping her because I think she is just gorgeous!


the other two have scaly face quite worse, and also vitamin d deficience, who knows what else is wrong with them :(


so will be going to the store tomorrow to get: cuttle bone, mineral block and iodine block.
will also be trying to get them to eat some veggies & getting some sunshine (vitamin d) and hopefully they will be better soon.


Once they are all better (could take a month or longer) they are going to live with my bestfriends mum who has a nice big budgie aviary, but of course I need to get them nice and healthy first because we don't want to infect her flock.
I am considering keeping the yellow lutino though :)
