I went to a local pet shop the other day to buy Elfie a toy and they said i need to worm him every 3 months? I do not want to do any thing like that until i know i need to or it is safe!!?  |

i don't personally, i hate using chemicals unless i need to, not only that but it's expensive to worm budgies every three months "just incase". It's not all that common for them to get worms anyway.

Every 6 months spot your bird with ivermectin 0.1% this will kill all internal and internal parasites, including worms
