    Thank You and the egg were throw out nest boxes removed ages ago but now I bought more breeding birds 1-2 years old. will post some pictures later.
  7. with the apple cider vinegar or white vinegar should I just spray it on and let it dry.
  8. Cleaner cages is this okay? 1) take out tray. 2) high pressure rinse it as well as cage, I use the garden hose, as it great for pressure and the water is hot heated from the sun. 3) scrub tray with hot water and dishwashing liquid. I figured it is safe for us so It should be for birds or am I wrong? 4) wipe out cage with cloth I try and do the bars in and out if I can other wise I just wipe out the plastic area or whatever the floor is made of. Usually the garden hose I use as high pressure gets the bars clean. 5) let dry in sun. 6) now this I haven't done before disinfectant the cage. Now how is this applied? should I use a spray bottle and just spray it on and let it dry? can I use the homemade cleaner with bicarb and lemon juice to as a disinfectant? Can I use home brand disinfectant the same way? or should I get avi care disinfectant for pets?

    Is egg and biscuit hand rearing food? What foods do you provide to them for mum to give to babies. I usually give them a good quality seed mix, peas, corn, and a good veggie mix. Also egg and biscuit mix anything else I should provide them with?
  11. I thougth Megabac-S was devoloped by an australian company called veta farm based out of Wagga?
  12. nope they don't I think it is now a prescription only drug now.
  13. okay well heres what I can get. So far if anybody has any names of other popular brands that can get the below please tell. Non vet drugs as I found out you must have your bird diagnosed with the condition or It is illegal to give the script out for it. That's the law I was told. 1) A lice and mites treatment easy enough to get many brands. 2) Wormer once again very easy to get. Loads of brands. 3) Protozoa/canker/Coccidia Ronivet-S hard to find and Coccivet 4) Psittacosis TRIPLE C Treats psittacosis 5) CALCIVET for calcium supplementation. 6) Vitamin supplementation loads to choice. 7) Probotic found a few. 8) Megacteria somebody said lemon juice but didn't say how much. Does anybody use lemon juice to treat Megacteria or is there a non vet drugs I can get? Now this is the only one I need to find a treatment for. So I really need to find now petshop brands for treatments for Megacteria and at least another choice to choose for treatment for canker.
  14. I don't know if I have already said but I am not looking into go fully into quality breeding. Just looking for something to do as a hobby maybe sell some birds now and again at the markets. But I don't want to be the on known for selling crappy sick birds either. So I don't know if I need to go full gear with the treatments or not as as yet on just normal birds as I don't know if its worth giving tons of $ worth of treatment to just normal ones. I would go full on with treatments if I had rare birds but that's about it. I am not trying to be cruel or anything but I will follow the program and quarantine them for 45 days and give the all the treatments I can find that a petshop has as well as that stress relive thing. Pro something. As going into vet drugs is just to expensive for me to do when there not sick.
  15. okay well I will treat for all of them IF they give me the meds other wise will have to just go with I can get from the petshops. Like petbarn.
  16. well I just emailed veta farm and got a reply from them they said that most of these illness the drugs on prescription, now if there prescription policy is like the human one which I bet it it. I won't get the drugs because the birds ain't sick. I am waiting on the lady the emailed me to call me to discuss this further. Can you get bird insurance? to cover vet bills by any chance?
  17. At the moment I clean my cages and small aviary daily with a pant scraper to remove the **** from the trays in the button as they are out side and when I use paper it just blows up and around my birds so I can't. How often should I scrub it all down? I'm going to start also using that home made cleaner on here if I can find it. I also clean there food and water dishes daily. Anything else I should do?
  18. Can you give me some examples of the treatments you use as I can't find anything on them except coccidiosis, that is the only treatment I can find, vetafarm only has treatment for that condition. Like name of the product I should get. a couple of each if you can as that brand might not be around here.
  19. okay I will treat for all of them. Now umm I cant find a treatment for canky well I can but only for dogs and cats. what be its name of a treatment for this canky? What is this psittacosis its not mention on that faq only coccidiosis is or is this the same thing?
  20. Well I am getting 10 new birds what do I need to treat them for anything?I already give my birds wormer and vitamins, can I stop the cuttlefish bone in cage as calcium is in the vitamins. So I should treat the new birds for canker,coccidiosis, and megacteria?
  21. Also can you stop giving cuttlefish bone to them if you use ornithon powder?
  22. yes I am getting new birds from pet shops, what do I need to do. Do I have to treat them all for canker,coccidiosis, megacteria?
  23. I was reading the quaratine program in the faq, do you have to treat them for canker,coccidiosis, megacteria. even if they don't have these things, I already worm and give my birds vitamins.
  24. lovitts whistler 125ml
  25. steps 3 to 5 do they apply to new birds? Because I thought you only treated them for these things step 3-5 if they had them or am I wrong.
