Sad to hear about this Lucas, I watched your Stafford vid and it was really nice to see how excited you were with your new birds. I recently watched a vid on CZcams with Daniel lutolf discussing French moult and he said he keeps a couple of birds who have had French moult but recovered in his bird room as he believes it helps the rest of the flock build up some immunity. Hope the rest of your birds are okay mate.

Hi Steve! Thanks to commenting and supporting 🥰 Yes I’ve had birds in the past that have recovered from french moult and I had them in the flock and they done so well, even their youngsters grew out normal without any sign of FM. My only concern is now I have much more expensive bird mutations! 😖 I actually still own the budgie in question and he looks like a totally different bird! Worst case I’ll have him back with the flock and just make sure that they are healthy as possible and just continue to constantly give them supplements for their immune system to maintain strong! 🙃 I’ll definitely check out his video and gather some ideas off him!
Thanks so much Steve! I appreciate it a lot 👍🏼🙂🙂

Unfortunately FM is usually caused by PBFD virus and not polyomavirus. My advice, as a veterinarian and a former budgie breeder with experience of FM: Loose all the birds born after you got the disease into the flock as these can become viral spreaders, even without symptoms. I am happy that you focus on hand washing, this is especially important if you are handling breeding birds and chicks. Be aware that nestboxes are a virus reservoir if you have it in your flock. Heat treating at 150 degrees Celsius for 1,5 hours will get rid of the virus in the box. Flameing with gas torch for 20 seconds is also effective (I think some reintroduction programs for parrots are using this on natural nests). As for disinfectants Chlorox and Virkon S is effective.

I got my first FM bird from a breeder. It did not have any signs of FM, but another breeder told me "oh,oh, did you buy from xx, she has FM". I answered: What is FM? And then all hell broke loose in my breeding room. I culled at least 25 chicks, stopped breeding for a year, moved the adult birds to a new breeding facility and then I got rid of it. But I used 100 liters of Clorox in the process.
