Just out of curriosity.... how do you know if your birds have mites? I'm sure it would be an easy answer if they were in an inside cage and hand tame, but if there out in the aviary, and not hand tame, how would you know? Do they scratch more often? What is the norm on their preening? Just curious!

red mites are easy to find look in dark places in your aviary under seed pots where perchs meet the wall and you will see the little devils running around

Gotcha, thanks. Are there any other types of mites, or just the red ones?
