Found budgies should I treat them ?

[LynM]

Just wanted to ask if I should treat the budgies I found with ivermectin or anything ?
For all I know they could be harbouring all sorts of things

I have ordered Guardian angel and am now just looking into getting Tricho plus.

BABIES CAN BE TREATED WITH IVERMECTIN AT APPROX 8 WEEKS OLD AND WITH THRICHO POWDER AT ABOUT 3/4 MONTHS AS THEY COME INTO ADULT FEATHER....................UNLESS YOUR BIRD GOES DOWN WITH THRICHO AND THEN REGARDLESS OF AGE YOU MUST TREAT ASAP

Thats what I thought but Skittles is in a seperate room and I don't mix clean thier bowls, hands etc washed when handling birds but because Kiwi died of this do you think I should treat Skittles??? She is 10 weeks old.
