Re: FOR DAWN AND OTHERS WITH PET BIRDS

[Guest guest]

No, I didn't see that. Thanks, TIm. I will try anything. My birds are

like my feathered kids and I will do whatever I have to. I just wish I

knew if they were the source of the mites. I see specs of white on them

but they can also have these specs from the sheath that sheds off their

feathers when they preen or from their skin. Anyway, one step at a

time. I just have to take more precaution with them and with what I use

around them. I am taking them to the vet after the holidays anyway, and

am also seeing my derm. as well. I know it will probablly do no good to

see my derm. but my husband is insistant that I do so anyway.
