I have a budgie Pickle who is about 10 weeks old, he seems to be scratching a lot, but he does preen all the time. I got him from a registered breeder, would I be ok to treat him with a preventative dose of say Anti Parasite Spot On for Small birds or would it not be a good idea. Can anyone give me any advice on best thing to do. Thanks

Well that was ok, hubby held him and I applied the stuff, got as close to his skin as possible by parting his feathers, hope I done it right. He looks a bit scraggy now round his neck where some has run down is this normal? I am going to save the other pippet and do another preventative dose in 6 months
