I think so. But someone will be along to correct me if I am wrong.

You need some spot on or ivermectin to get rid of it.

just make sure its the one BB showed in his pic 0.1%...
follow the instructions ....and your budgie/s will be fine ...but you will have to disifect every thing in the cage ...i would also chuck the perches away as the mites burrow in deep and get new same with the cuttle fish and iadine block .
if theres more than i budgie treat them all ...1 spot per week till its gone ...do all the disinfecting after the budgie/s are cured or youl had to do it all over again ...

It also helps kill any mites as they cannot breathe with the vaseline cover.
