Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good Air Sack Mite treatment ? that's easy to get in Brisbane or online.
I've had 3 young birds and 1 adult die in last 2 weeks and can't work out why. None appear to have labored breathing or the common signs but I'm at a loss of what else to try.
Thanks
Reuben

I use Moxidectin. I get it from the local bird place, but it can be obtained from Auspigeon I believe.

I use auspigeonco's moxidectin plus, u just put it in the water and leave it in for a day. Just make sure your waterer feeds from the bottom cause the moxidectin sinks.
Keeping: fresh air 😅
