These were rescued from red mites as there box was infested with them.

:fear :fear

awe poor babies they are very sweet

They are beauties Hommer. Glad you are taking care of the mites. I'm sure that was miserable for them.

very pretty budgies hommer,love the pied one.

The first thing that came into my head when I saw that bowl was "budgie salad".My auntie use to always put her salad in those wooden bowls at bbq's.

:(Laughing out loud):

Gives me the creeps, glad they were rescued.

awww poor things...

 

But what do redmites look like if I may ask?

??? I can't get a good picture of them!

 

 

This picture just freaks me out (scaly face, from mites, apparently!):

 

 

This looked like a cute coat to help stop a bird from over-plucking itself:

well there small and red if you sqash em you get a bright red mark on the box

here is the bird that landed on my cage with the red mites all over it.

and I don't have a spare cage so it's a waste of time catching it.

Hope all those nasty bugs have been eradicated Homer.

looks like I did but you can never be to sure as the eggs they lay can take up to four days to hatch
