Introduction
Avian lice and mites are common external parasites affecting ornamental caged birds. These parasites can negatively impact both the health and comfort of affected birds.
Symptoms and Effects of Infestation
Infestations by avian lice and mites may lead to several noticeable symptoms. Birds may experience skin irritation and itchiness, which can cause discomfort and distress. Powdery and flaky deposits may appear on the skin or feathers, and, in some cases, scabs may develop as a result of the irritation.
When infestations become severe, they can lead to more significant health problems. These include anaemia, which results from blood loss, as well as reproductive issues and immune system complications that can affect the overall well being of the bird.
Avian Insect Liquidator
Avian Insect Liquidator is a treatment specifically formulated by avian veterinarians to address infestations of avian lice (order Phthiraptera, suborder Mallophaga) in ornamental caged birds and their surroundings. Its use is intended to control these parasites and help maintain a healthy environment for birds.
Vetafarm Avimec 50mL: Treatment for Scaly Mites and Lice in Small Birds
Product Overview
Vetafarm Avimec 50mL is a topical liquid medication formulated for the control of scaly face mites, air sac mites, red leg mites, and lice in Parakeets, Budgies (Budgerigars), Canaries, Finches, and other small birds. Avimec is designed for external use only and is safe to use alongside food additives, supplements, and other oral medications.
About Scaly Face and Scaly Leg Mites
Scaly Face in birds refers to an infestation of burrowing or scaly face mites (Knemidokoptes pilae). Scaly Leg, also known as tassle foot, is commonly due to Knemidocoptes mutans (Scaly Leg Mite). Both types of mites are microscopic and cannot be seen with the naked eye. In budgerigars, Knemidokoptes pilae typically affects the beak, with infestations often starting there and later spreading to the legs and the area around the vent. The mites may also impact the eyes and vent area.
Early infestation may cause little visible change and have minimal impact on the bird’s general condition. Initial signs include crusty plaques in the corners of the beak and on the beak itself, appearing as bright white deposits that thicken and become crustier over time. As the infestation progresses, the upper mandible develops a “coral-like” appearance due to tunnels created by the burrowing mites. These tunnels can also appear around the eyes, legs, or vent, causing severe itching. Affected birds appear restless and scratch continuously.
If left untreated, mite infestations can lead to serious complications that are extremely painful and may result in death.
Transmission
Burrowing mites are primarily transmitted in the nest box during feeding, through direct body contact from parents to chicks. Although transmission between adult birds is rare, it has been observed. Special care should be taken with pairs and flocks if an infection occurs, as some birds are more susceptible and infestations may follow family lines, suggesting a possible genetic predisposition. The time between infection and visible symptoms can be several years, but most budgerigar infestations appear between 6 and 12 months of age, often soon after purchase.
Treatment with Avimec
Traditional treatments for scaly mite infestations, such as paraffin oil, petroleum jelly, and strong disinfectants, aim to suffocate the mite or kill on contact, but are often messy and inconsistent. Avimec, containing Ivermectin, offers a modern solution with a simple “drop on” application. The liquid is applied to the bird’s skin once weekly for three weeks. Depending on the severity, recovery may take three to eight weeks as the bird’s body heals the damaged areas. In breeding facilities, yearly treatment is recommended for all budgerigars to control mite infestations, including apparently unaffected birds, as they may be carriers and spread mites to young birds.
Avimec is for external use only and is compatible with food additives, supplements, and other oral medications.
Directions for Use
· Birds less than 30g body weight: apply 1 drop
· Birds between 30-100g body weight: apply 2 drops
· Repeat application weekly for three weeks
· Apply drops to an unfeathered area of skin
· Treat all birds in the aviary
· Full recovery may take up to 6 weeks
Product Description
Vetafarm Breeding Aid is a targeted supplement formulated to improve breeding outcomes in birds. This product contains a blend of essential fatty acids and vital vitamins, specifically vitamins A, D, and E, which play a significant role in avian health and reproductive success.
Key Benefits
· Membrane Development: The supplement provides nutrients necessary for the formation of healthy egg membranes, supporting the viability and strength of eggs.
· Egg Laying and Chick Growth: By supplying essential vitamins and fatty acids, Vetafarm Breeding Aid assists with the production of fertile eggs and promotes the growth of healthy chicks.

Directions for Use

Storage Instructions
Store Vetafarm Breeding Aid below 30°C in a dry location to preserve its quality and effectiveness.
Calcium deficiency in birds can present with a range of symptoms, which may impact various aspects of their health and behaviour. Recognising these signs early is important for prompt intervention and care.
Common Symptoms
· Dystocia or Egg Binding: Birds with insufficient calcium may experience difficulty laying eggs, a condition known as dystocia or egg binding.
· Soft or Thin Shelled Eggs: Deficient calcium levels often result in eggs with soft or abnormally thin shells, making them more prone to breakage.
· Flight Issues: Birds may have trouble flying or demonstrate uncoordinated movements while in flight due to weakened muscles and bones.
· Lack of Coordination During Flight: Affected birds might appear clumsy or have difficulty maintaining proper control and direction while flying.
· Legs Spread Further Apart: Calcium deficiency can cause birds to stand or walk with their legs abnormally spread, indicating muscle weakness.
· Leg Weakness: Birds may show general weakness in their legs, making perching, standing, or walking challenging.
· Seizures: In severe cases, a lack of calcium may lead to muscle tremors or seizures.
· Drooping Wings: Birds might exhibit drooping wings, which is often a sign of muscle fatigue or weakness connected to calcium deficiency.
· Biting or Aggression: Some birds display increased biting or aggressive behaviour, which could be related to discomfort or stress caused by the deficiency.
Coccidiosis: Impact on Birds
Coccidiosis is a disease that can have serious consequences for affected birds. It often leads to nutrient malabsorption, which impairs the bird’s ability to absorb essential nutrients from its food. This condition can further cause dehydration and blood loss, both of which can weaken the bird significantly. In addition to these direct effects, birds suffering from coccidiosis become more vulnerable to secondary infections due to their compromised health.
Treatment with Coccivet
Coccivet is recognised as a safe and effective treatment option for coccidiosis in pigeons and ornamental birds. Its dual active formulation allows it to clear infections efficiently and safely. Typically, Coccivet is administered over a 7-day course, during which it works to eliminate the disease and restore the bird’s health.
