Hello... Would budgies get bitten by mosquitos ? if yes, what precautions can we take and what medicines should we give them if we find them sick. I'm in India and the city where I live is gifted with lot of mosquitos. Bird cage I have is in my living room but one side of the cage is attached to a window which is open all time (obviously covered with mesh/wires). I'm thinking of having a mosquito mesh fixed to the outer part which would definitely help me for now and longer run. But, still curious to know if mosquitos harm budgies in any way?

I am by no means an expert on mosquitoes, but as far as I know any warm blooded animal is liable to attack. Sorry but I don't know about any medicines, but I'm sure there will be someone who does know.

we get lots of mosquitoes here in Malta, and i never really had problems with them going for my budgies. I actually sometimes get budgies fascinated by the tiny mosquitoes, and they try and get them. Surely enough most mosquitoes are too fast for the buds but hey ho, as long as they're happy

We get lots of mosquitos where I am and it has never been a problem. It might be hard for the mozzies to get through the feathers.

Never had a problem with mozzies, but the insect screen over the window would be a good thing to invest in anyway, in my opinion. It will keep out plenty of other things as well as the mosquitoes.
