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.
