How to know if a bird has mites or piojillos. Mites and lice in canaries, parakeets and other birds
Hello colleagues and peers, Welcome once again to a new video.
On this occasion like many of you I you asked for it and you have the same doubt,
I have decided to make this video, in which I will briefly explain a series of
steps to know if your bird, either canary, parakeet, goldfinch or lovebird,
has mites or piojillos. And without more ... we started!
First of all, as you already know why we have seen in other videos of the channel,
mites or piojillos appear mainly for various reasons such as for example
the arrival of a new bird in the aviary, that is, when we acquire a new copy
coming from another aviary and we introduce it directly in our aviary without having
made the quarantine period. Also, another reason in the case that our
Aviary is on the outside, it could be the visit of external birds, sparrows,
that come to eat part of the seeds that they fall to the ground, as these birds
not being wormed they usually have mites or piojillos and when in contact with
birds of our aviary because it can give place for our birds to get infected.
In the same way, in the case that we acquire second-hand cages or other material
for our aviary such as nests, we have to make sure to disinfect
all the cages and accessories that we go to use, because in any small gap
there may be piojillos, mites or even eggs that could eventually hatch in the next
days originating a focus of infection. And finally, mites can also appear
and piojillos when we buy the material that let's use for breeding, as per
example goat hair, which may contain some piojillos, or as I said before, small
larvae that hatch a few days later and be the beginning of a plague. That's why my
recommendation is that when you buy any type of material for the construction of
nest, before using it, put it in bags tight and freeze for about 24-48
hours to eliminate any type of parasite that could contain.
Therefore, once we have more or less clear what are the main causes
which appear mites and piojillos in our aviary, and considering that
mites and piojillos are parasites that reproduce very fast and so
exponential with the arrival of high temperatures, if we do not notice and detect in time
that in our aviary there is a small focus of infection of mites and piojillos, in some
weeks the piojillos will have multiplied and spread throughout the aviary, becoming
in a plague more difficult to eradicate, and even more in the breeding season.
Making a brief outline to make it more easy to understand, to detect if our
birds have mites or piojillos or if in our aviary there are mites or piojillos, in
the breeding season, we will look mainly in nests, carriers and accessories
that we have in the cage, and especially in those that are closest to the nest.
If the nests are rope, it is important that change them at least once or twice
by laying and that almost daily you go checking to see if you detect small
red, black or even gray dots, depending of the development of the mite, since in the unions
of the ropes of the nest are usually hidden with ease. For this reason, currently
nests that I use, for example, for breeding of canaries are these small lining of
polyester that allow me to see easily if there is a parasite in the nest.
So the first way to know if during breeding we have mites or piojillos, is checking
almost daily the nests of our canaries, parakeets etc. and in the case that we detect
the presence of some kind of parasite what It would be more advisable to change the nest
another new one and do a complete cleaning of the cage, since, if we keep the piojillos
in the nest, these could weaken the pups that are quite weak arriving
even to end his life. Another tip, regarding the nests,
is to choose a carrier according to the shape of the nest to prevent it from falling and try
always avoid porous materials such as wood, cloth or similar, since the piojillos
they could be easily reproduced in this type of materials.
And the third council, also for the time of breeding, although in reality it could be applied
at any time of the year, it would be to review all the accessories that we have in the cage,
especially those accessories next to nests, because during breeding is where
the piojillos are usually lodged to leave at night and attack the birds that are
find in the nest. On the other hand, mites and lice can
be lethal in the molting season for our birds, since you already know that it is a
a somewhat critical time for them because that in most cases they end up
leave the breeding and, in addition, to this wear it is joined by the plumage change, which decreases
its defenses and makes it more likely to contract diseases.
But, how do we know if our birds Do they have mites or piojillos during the moult?
Well basically as I mentioned before, observing all the accessories of the cage,
and above all, being very careful with those feathers that stay between the cage and the wall
or in certain areas of the aviary, propitiating an ideal place for the proliferation of
piojillo And finally, to know if they exist in any
time of year, because basically it would be the same, that is, review all accessories
that there are in the cages like for example feeders, perches or perches that have
small holes where they usually stay and reproduce mites or piojillos, etc. As well,
It is important to check the trays of the cages, especially if you use some type
of material, as for example is my case, I use newspaper to recycle it.
So I usually pick it up and clean it well the tray to prevent mites or
piojillo, and you already know that to prevent it you can sprinkle a small amount
of bicarbonate. If you do not know how to use the bicarbonate in the aviary, I take advantage of
leave you up here a video where you I talk about the benefits and uses of bicarbonate
in our aviary and in our birds. Another little trick that will help us
know if in our aviary there is piojillo, would be to use these little traps to
piojillos very easy to make with materials recycled, for which we will basically need
a piece of cardboard, tape and a small rope or hook. Its operation
It is very simple since the cardboard is a material quite porous and also have a few
holes inside, what is going to be a ideal refuge for the piojillos. During
the night will come out to feed on the blood of our birds and then they will go
to take refuge in the trap, so that next day when we go to the aviary and
let's remove these little traps we can check if there are really piojillos in our
aviary, because if there were any They would be hidden in the piece of
paperboard. Also, we can know if our birds
They have piojillo placing a small cloth or light colored cloth, preferably white,
Covering the entire cage at night, and early in the morning, review
the web to see if there was some kind of acaro or piojillo. In the event that there are
small dots would be easily appreciated above the fabric, which would indicate
that we would have mites or piojillo in the aviary
Another method, which also usually works is to inspect the cage overnight
and the aviary with a flashlight or even with the mobile flash, because in the case of
that there is piojillo in the aviary we can give ourselves account clearly since they will move by
the wall or the cage looking for a guest with which to feed.
And another way to see if our bird has mites in the pen, would you take it from this
way and open the wing carefully, and with a magnifying glass and approaching a light bulb we can
appreciate if our bird, in this case A canary has mites on the pen.
And apart, as I have told you in other videos, You must be very careful with the spikes
that many of you use to hang the cage on the wall or with small gaps or crevices,
since these places facilitate reproduction of the piojillos.
One of the main symptoms that indicate us that our canary, parakeet or lovebirds
has mites or piojillo is that they are continuously scratching, uncomfortable and uneasy in
the cage, especially during the night, that you already know that is when the parasites have
activity. Also, the presence of mites or piojillo
could cause our birds to have small areas of the body without feathers, which
It is what is commonly known as bald. So in the event that we notice that our
bird has a small abnormal bald on his plumage could indicate that he was
being attacked by mites or piojillos. Another symptom that in our aviary there is
piojillos or mites, could be the apparition of small crusts in certain areas
of the body of the bird such as the legs, which is what in many cases we know as
flakes on the legs, can also occur at the peak, and even in the case of some
psitácida like for example the parakeets, in the wax.
These small irritations on the skin indicate that our bird suffers from mites
and we should treat it quickly or go to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Discuss
that in the case that you detect that your canary or your bird has scales on
the legs as a result of these parasites, to prevent or eliminate them, you can use
this homemade ointment that I teach you to prepare in the video that I will leave you up here.
On the other hand, in the case of mites of the trachea, we will find out when
all day, and especially during the night, our birds make noise at the time of
breathe and in many cases stay with the beak open and even look like they're
coughing This will indicate us that they can have some kind of respiratory problem or in
Most of the cases that our bird is being affected by mites of the trachea,
so we will have to treat it in the greatest as soon as possible so that it recovers and can
continue leading a normal life. As we have already seen in previous videos,
and basically I gave you commenting also in this video, mites and piojillos
they are a type of parasite that feeds on the blood of our birds, just like
for example fleas or ticks in Cats or Dogs. So this kind of parasites,
they will weaken your organism causing you in many cases a malaise, weakness
and anemia. Finally, to finish the video, if
you want to know different ways and methods to prevent and even eliminate mites
and the piojillos, up here I'm going to leave a note in which if you do
click you can see other videos in which I explain all those forms and methods of
prevent and eliminate mites and lice. I hope these tips and tricks serve you,
