I decided as I didn't know Archie's history, as a precaution I would treat both birds with ivermectin today before they get together next week when quarantine its up (thank goodness). We did Eric first. Alex held him and I put on the drops. No problem.
Archie next. Alex caught him no problem (he's been stepping up on our little fingers and we have been getting him used to being held) Well Archie is considerably smaller than Eric and he wriggled straight through his fingers and out of Alex's hand, he was then doing laps around the living room with no dust sheets down the back of the furniture (Eek) Anyway he landed on his favourite curtain rail and Alex got him down. We had to put him back in his cage and start all over again, but job done and nether bird seems bothered by the experience. They are both shouting for each other as they have been all day today. Roll on next week.
