Hi All, I'm hoping for some advice on dealing with mites. I have a young male budgie named taco. I spoke to the vet this morning about Taco itching non-stop and he said it was mites. He suggested a spray. My question is, is spray the only way? Can you treat mites with a spot topical treatment more effectivly? Does such thing exist for birds? Thanks in advance! Jess and Taco
