Hello, it's one drop on the back of the neck, each week, for 3 weeks.
I take it you got invermectin 0.1%

They are not moulting, are they? New feathers can make them terribly itchy. I am sure you realise that, but sometimes we do miss the obvious.

Well I'm not sure they lost alot of small feathers not long ago and the have a few small pin feathers in their faces, I've got a video but I can't upload it to photo bucket.. Odd I'd much rather it was moult

That looks to me like simple, ordinary old budgie preening. It takes a lot of work to keep those feathers looking so beautiful. PLUS, if your birds don't have contact with the outside world, and they were only treated a few months ago, I suspect that you are mistaking their natural preening for them being itchy. I hope so, at any rate.

Are you seeing blood splattered over their wings, or are you seeing blood in certain feather quills? Hard to explain, but photos would help, if possible.

It's only in one place on both wings on one bird on the underside I'll Try and get a photo but you can only see it when they stretch their wings out lol

You will see mites better on the white or lighter feathers, they tend to cluster in places They can cause bleeding on blood feathers causing brown streaks on the feathers Closest photo of mite on a budgie feathers that I could find Clusters of mites Hope this helps
