That tiny black bird on top trying to look down through the bars lolđ đ
Itâs cute. But isnât it dangerous? I heard birds can die that way, trying to cram themselves through cage bars
do you know what kind of bird that is?
@@peepsicle they get used to it without harming themselves. As they born indoors. As long They re homing. NO WILD
@@vzoa1666 no idea... I don't deal with garden birds
@@Ainesoid I see
I have tried all kinds of methods,just when you think you have got on top of it,they appear again. So far the best solution for the birds is S76. A 4 week treatment. Then, as Matt suggests all other cleaning methods. Yes,it's expensive but,worth it,the birds can also bath in it.
4 weeks for how many days or every day for 4 weeks?
Thank you đđŒ just the video Iâve been looking for
Love the videos and the info your share thanks
Just found your channel and love it! Thank you
good vid ! thank you
Many thanks
Great video bruv... I think I spend more money on Mite and worm prevention, ie sprays,powders and tonics then I do on seed. And I agree with your video that a birdroom without mites are either so Shite high they can't see them under the dirt, or the keeper just isn't looking hard enough.
Thanks Mark
Good man.
I have 6 budgies i separated one as it had mites I have Johnson anti mite powder they still sell it in the pet shop I go to I also use coconut oil around the scaly bits around his beak and cere and its clearing up I clean out the cages every day unless I am busy it every other day without fail ...yes being on point with keeping things clean is important i change there water twice a day without fail as they poo in it lol
Good video
Thank you. I work at a place a business outside garden that has many different types of birds and I have brought home either mites or lice I don't know the difference between the two I can't get rid of them whatever they are and it's been a year and I'm miserable they're biting me and I've used everything I can think of. Can you please help me. And it cost a fortune to hire an exterminator at which I cannot afford. Please I'm losing my mind. Thank you so much. And also that was a great video.
Good video!

Good day,
I have 2 green canaries one male and one female which I am hoping to breed them, but a couple of days back I notice the female pulling her feathers from the chest, My question is could that be mites or is she trying to build a nest because I saw both of the matings yesterday, Please advice on what to do as I love to breed them.....
Hey so if i have these in a room, what should i do. spray everywthing in this???
Thanks for the Video , Question did you ever become infected by the bird mites after this video, any itchy, crawling, biting feelings?
Yes, itâs not uncommon for that to happen
Great help. Unfortunately too late. Just today my sister lost a 3year old female canary to these buggers. Were now making sure the male doesn't die to
Thank you, good tips, I learn a lot from it.đ
Glad it was helpful!
Hi. Where did you get the air pump from. I can't find it on Ebay. Please reply.
does anyone know what the plastic thing is called holding the cutter fish please.
NEVER EVER SPRAY ANYTHING DIRECTLY ON YOUR BIRDS. THESE ARE DANGEROUS PESTICIDES. No matter what the label or pet store people say. I sprayed some canaries and within minutes they were all on the bottom of the cage, gasping for breath and dying. Immediately took them and washed all the product off under lukewarm running water in the kitchen sink. They were in shock but all were fine.
What did u spray them with
Hello, thank you for this great tips.
I'm worried if I clean the cage I will disturb the hen. I had few hens rejecting there chicks already...
thank you
Tricky one this, some hens don't mind being disturbed others are flighty and will jump - try doing it later in the evening - her natural instincts will be to roost on the nest
Thanks mate valid tips yes can be a nightmare for us bird men and women ! I use the products that you just mentioned but heâs a great secret tip !! I also use lemon juice mixed into water and spray the cages once per week it works for me ! Good luck all take care đđđŹđ§ do not spray birds or young chick
ill give that a go!
Do you spray lemon juice on your birds ?
Hi, I wondering where you get those white small 1 portion feeders. It will be appreciated if post the link or the shop's name.
Do you ever have a pair of canaries both raise young and both feed the young but right around 2 weeks into it they both seem to hate each other but still get alkng during the feeding of the young.
I didnât know what mite is until today my brother saved a little bird and weâre taking care of it now thereâs a lot of mites itâs a nightmare
So what did you did.
Can you tell me please...
@@xirimendho8919 Baby powder because i didn't find the powder in the video
Hi guys, I now use Aviforms avi-mite tonic red mite killer, added to drinking water a couple days a month and it actually flipping works.!!!!
can i use tue sprays on gouldians. ??
What would you recommend with wooden aviary plz
Mite are a nightmare. i gave up breeding canaries alot of years ago because I didnt have the time to keep up with the mite. What do you think of treatments that you can put into the birds drinking water that stop the mite from feeding?
Martin Gentles look into S76 bird medicine, you have to keep up with it though.
I have a cockatiel he keeps biting back of and could this be down to or is it just a bad a bad habit she's just got I've just got to try and get out of if so can you give me some advice
Hi can you tell me what you put in your egg food please
Kindly share canaray winter feed and after breed chick feed
Is this method ok for budgies iv started it for my canary room and I'm impressed with it but wasn't sure if it would affect my budgies in anyway also iv been using red stop mite for their water and poultry powder also use poultry powder in my budgie boxes but they still seem to affect the chicks
Thanks for sharing this video.. my cockatiel also has mites.. i cant find that powder anywhere.. can i use baby powder?
try some tea tree oil in a spray instead
@@TheCanaryRoom do I use it directly on my bird as well as the cage?
@@alexandrabindiu6073hi did YOUR cockatiel loose its feathers.what did you do PLEASE
Hiya do you think u could help me ? Iâm getting bird and rat mites in my home , infested because rats got in.
Chewed through cupboards by boiler. Iâm really struggling as heavy infestation Iâm gonna chuck lots out.
Iâve tried many sprays , indorex , protector c etc etc none work.
What do you recommend that I can get in maybe larger bottles etc ?
The things you showed are promising but so tiny Iâve a 2 bed flat to sort out so was thinking
Do u recommend anything like these things ????
If so what , by way they are not bothered by permethrin at all needs to be stronger than that.
Thanks so much !
So sorry to hear this, I know it may be extreme but have you tried a smoke bomb?
I understand what you're going through I have had these bird mites. Rat mites or lice for a year now and cannot get rid of them. I have tried everything and I think they are immuned. There is no killing them what can I do?? I'm going crazy they're biting me so bad.
Where do you purchase those perches that attach from outside the cage? I am in Canada and cannot find them, or can you share the name. Thanks
Lots on eBay
Hi sir my walterslager canary has completely lost his voice I can see his mouth move but no voice he has completed multing hen set and also lost his voice sir a quick advice
whats the youngest age you can spray a bird, specifically a budgie?
PLEASE HELP
Budgies usually only get scaly face mites & the meds are shipped from Australia, a 50ml bottle costs $18 Canadian with delivery by DHL for $50.76 Canadian... To Canada...bird be DOA...
I think my pet bird got this problem. My bird is always feel itchy losing it feathers half of its back show it skin. Even those try to keep the bird cage clean.
My question:
is what other sprays or meds is there for birds and will the birds feathers ever grow back?
Will feathers grow BACK
D E earth powder rub bit in feathers ( not pool grade the organic version but check first )
PLEASE HELP!! I have a cockatiel with mites. Feather I think. He bites himself and grooms all the time. I know there are products on the market that say âspray on the bird but donât get it in their eyesâ Blind folding a bird is quite impossible. I also canât tell him to close his eyes. An online vet suggested Scatt. But that is for scaly mites and sack mites.
One of his feathers fell out. I stroked the feather and saw the mites move. I know this is a canary channel, but mites are mites.
My poor bird is miserable. Any help.....please!!!
Is it still alive?
did you solve the problem? my cockatiel has mites too and im so hesitant to spray her with chemicals but at the same time cant let those mites suck on her blood. ugh im stuck
Lemon icecream take her to the vet
I use Scott by Vetafarm âŠ1drop on top of back every 3 weeks âŠ.and mineral oil rubbed on feet and legs suffocate the mites âŠ.
â@@kikihowe4799 Yeah i use Scatt by vetafarm, but is Scatt, not Scott.
Yo i am a scoucer here Thailand 16 years now so we have constant heat almost all year thus i clean my huge cages out every day but i still see tiny mites in the food trays full of left over sweet corn & i simply clean every thing every morning with a hose pipe with vigilance ! but thats nature ey !
My parrot also this problem this method can help me
Are you really only at risk of these mites if you breed birds? As I have two budgies in my bedroom and I'm terrified of them getting mites. I don't intend on breeding them but I clean them everyday is there anything else I should do to prevent the mite ? I have been using the Johnsons mite stuff on my birds each month as a precaution. But with the temperature rising how can I prevent the mite from coming in? As I'm afraid to open my windows wide Incase the mite does come in.... Any advice will be very much appreciated!!!!
Pink Sylveon Mites occur on every bird, even when itâs just a single bird. Of course having multiple birds increases the risk, but itâs almost impossible to not have mites. Itâs all about keeping it under control. You do so by occasionally cleaning the cage and applying anti-mite to the birds every once in a while.
Can gorlic in the water help
Hi were do you get the puffer from regards justin
You can get them from Amazon Justin
I have brought home bird mites,ratMites,bird lice, from my workplace, a garden center, that has many types of birds nesting. Also we had tropical plants shipped in from Miami and they were on them. They're even on my cat and he's miserable too. Please help me.
What are the ingredients of the products? I live in the US. I want to purchase its equivalent.
Google it...
I use Scatt by Vetafarm ..1 drop on back every 3 weeks ..and mineral oil rubbed on feet and legs suffocate the mites âŠ

Does it work on budgies scaly face mites ...?
No, but you can get a scaly face lotion for it
thx
Does this work on budgies?
My question too! I'm curious
When are you releasing seasons 1-2 đđœđ
well I now have them in MP4 format - so maybe soon!
would this be the same for rats?
Hi I have a question please answer, Can you use other baby powers instead of Jonsons baby powder?
Im suffering from these similiar mites, they get into my ears and inside when I lay on my pillow and they get into my clothes, and cause severe itching, how can i kill them..
Use diatomaceous earth food grade. Use it like a powder on your body and around your home. You can also eat/drink just mix it with food or drinks. Safe for humans and pets. I hope this will help.
@@LaloJaneO will this method kill them on the human body and the eggs that keep reproduce ?? Have you tried this?
I've tried DE and I guess I'm allergic becauae it burns and causes a rash. I've put it all over my apt (i think it broke my vacuum cleaner), and I've gone thru 2 bottles if concentrate permethrin, and a $70 bottle of premo bed bug and lice killer, among other things. I THOROUGHLY vacuum every 1-3 days, (reluctantly) wash my laundry in hot water with borax and ammonia, etc. Etc. It's been over a year and they are still here destroying my life. It's debilitating AF. I've lost WEEKS of my life and spent THOUSANDS of dollars dealing with these Bastards and I DON'T EVEN HAVE A BIRD!
@@deannapatschke-mullally8400 did you use MartinÂŽs Permethin 36.8%? you can spay yuor clothes too. If so, then the last thing you can do is use Malathion... but let me warn you that it is very dangerous and it is not for indoor uses but it will kill mites definetely. I recommend that you use it and leave home for at least 24 hours. Put your clothes in plastic bags and use DE inside them for 10 or more days. Remember that Malathion is not for indoor uses, but you seem desperate.
Before you do that Malathion thing, try using Entomopathogenic fungus. They kill mites effectively, give it a try before using Malathion. Spread it all over the place
what is the current alternitive spray to johnson anti mite which isnt avalable in 2020
Hi there, you can still get the spray ( I think) the powder has been discontinued
@@TheCanaryRoom I will check this week can you spray chicks ? or use sometyhing else
@@scot4u Hi no, not on the chicks its too harsh for them
@@TheCanaryRoom what can i use on the chicks then
@@scot4u very little that I'd trust for the young. Essentially there are 2 types of mites common in a bird room - red mite and northern mite. Difference between the two is northern need a host to live on whereas red mite can live in cracks and crevices and feed on the birds in the night (mostly. Change and spray the nest felt regularly, if you see any mite on the young you can "wipe them" off with a cotton bud. You've just got to try and stay on top of the issue. very best
There are mite in my cockatielâs food but not on him what can I do to stop them and get rid of them
Edit: please answer quickly
Zaza PlayZ clean the cage and food dish frequently. Is it perhaps somethig that is already in the foods storage container? Keep the bird food in the freezer. Get mite control products.
Thx... No itâs not always in the bird food container but nvm I asked the pet store owner and he told me this is because my container is in pressure so I need to open it from time to time
Look up Neem oil or Neem leaf to help with mites
Constant vigilanty against these little creatures, birds worst enemy, some people think when the hens stop feeding the chicks ? more often than not its mite in the nest ..Therefore as soon as one sits the eggs always powder the nest and keep a close eye on it everyday. Bird breeding isn't rocket science, its paying attention to detail...
Couldn't agree more
Can I use 9mg/liter of ivermectin in their drinking water to combat mites?if yes, for how long?
Order a 50ml bottle premixed from Avimec, out of Australia...I'm in Canada it cost $70 with DHL Express shipping costing me $50.76...
Do you have any insight on if bird mites/other mites can live on humans? Looking at videos of bird owners/chicken coops it looks like mites are super common and no big deal. However reading online some see bird mites like the Ebola virus/ how they can live on people and infest a home. Any expertise on this would be a huge help, God bless you
Andrew Stallman they absolutely will prey on humans if host bird leaves or dies-Iâm living with this hell a we speak. Nothing is working đą
Natthebratster omg I just discovered my 2 lovely budgies that Iâve grown to love and adore so much have mites Iâm devastatedđ«Iâve had bed bugs before and mites seem the same. Help! Someone please help međđŒ
Nancy Orta so start by treatment of your birds. Do you have a veterinarian for them? Consult him or her or clean out their cage and use DE like in this video. Removing the source-the bird infestation-helps a lot of people clear up quickly. If you have a certain immune condition Or Lyme disease for example itâs a lot tougher to kick. Go to stopskinmites.com for some tips and strategies. Good luck!!
Thank you!đđŒno vet yet
@Natthebratster same ! Iâve rat mites and bird mites from gaps on outside wall into the flat , rats broke in too.
Who,e flat infested with bird and rat mites ! Itâs hell been 9 months of pure hell.
Personally I stopped using jhonson as I experienced bird health at risk or if they are ill getting worst... U use squeeze ginger pure concentrated and IT WORKS 100% INMEDIATELY by touch
Their Baby powder lawsuit is scary considering ppl put it on their baby's.
Sorry what do u do ? Boil up ginger and spray it ? Thanks
Why do you not use diatematous earth as a pest control ?
I do, although Iâm not overly impressed with it
Have you ever tried cimexa?
ed kap birds respiratory system is especially fragile and DE powder can cause issues if handled incorrectly.
thank you so much I really appreciate That canoe also go on your dog and into your bed because my bird is in my bedroom
Update on mites. I used Skatt it says it is for scaly face mites. And air sack mites. But it works for all mites. He has stoped biting himself. You can only get it on the Internet.
Yes ivermectin plus clean up 3 times with 10 days interval will do the job
I wish I'd known that as child.
If I'd known back then it would've saved both of us, the bird and myself, a whole lot of stress.
Imagine an arachnophobic child finding small red spiders on a pet bird.
Luckily it survived my dumb removal idea and didn't die until years later at the age of 13+.
What was your idea?please tell me!
Can you send it to Indonesia?
Sorry I'm not a supplier
The Canary Room I like seeing your collection, can I have one of your collections, sir?
@@Ali2095 very kind - but I think the shipping would be prohibitive
kitty litter
Can humans get them?
Yes they can easily transfer to humans although are unlikely to host
But there are no canaries in this place
Sorry, not sure I understand?
This isn't that nice if you take the birds with northern mites to a show. There they may spread to other breeders. The same goes for red mites.
I mean no disrespect and I appreciate your help but your hands are tore up by them I am in dealing with them in my house and my poor dad he's an elderly gentleman and he's tore up his bites look like yours I wish you luck on your battle
Impossible !!! Pour se dĂ©barrasser des poux et autres vermines il faut tout dĂ©montĂ© et nettoyer, traiter les murs et oiseaux bien sur !!! Câest un travail long et difficile pour sâen dĂ©barrasser !!
I donât have birds and I have them?
I don't have birds either. Infested my body for more than a year. Over 100 wounds excruciating Lee painful can someone help me please!
My tree outside almost touches the window. I think wen baby birds đŠ go fly the nest they search us out !
Get to the topic
You need to kill more than just one mite.
your hand shakes alot whyy;
Let the birds free please please
Blablabla go to the point
Constructive!
There in your hair follicles to mate that's why you lost your hair. No joke. I'm not saying you have that same mite. We all have mites it's just hidden by medical community. Some gave them worse than others.
