FYI ... A product I've been using for years on my pigeons under wings for lice & all my chickens & 4 legged gritters during bug season . Also comes in larger size . Available at TSC , water based no oil stains on show birds and it works . Luck

Been using that for years on the horses. Never thought of it for the rest of the gang. One draw back, once a horse sweats, Bronco pretty much is null. I guess that would not be a problem w birds.

Gets rid as well Kenya . Pigeons are bad at times for feather mites . You can see um on feather shaft under wings . I just spray there & under tail as well . Gone next day . Seem to stay away . I spray nest box as well . Luck

Thanks for the tip, Ross. Pretty much no-muss-no fuss, by sounds of it. Methinks it's a good thing to have on hand. :-)
