Don't get on too much...hope you're all ok.
Not a very good year for me...lost quite a few chicks.The first full year with a mixed collection in the aviary.Not as easy as cage breeding to keep an eye out for problems.Chicks tossed etc.

Here in the UK we don't have a water soluble ivermectin based solution for air sac mites...I've previously used S76 from the Lady Gouldian site in the States.I understand you have your own version of this in Oz...anyone know the name and source so my son can get me some??

Anyway...thought I'd let you know my son emigrated to Melbourne last week...God help Australia.. :)

Moxidectin plus is the stuff we use here for worms and air sac mites. With regard to a source of it pm gomer and see if he has any left. Other wise some pets shops have it, Im sure someone from Melbourne will let you know which ones.
Son in Melbourne eh, what a good excuse to come over for a visit.

If he's in Melbourne then Dr Colin Walker (Australian Pigeon Company) is probably the best for Moxidectin+

I use S76 it actually made in Australia it's available from Dr Rob Marshall http://www.birdhealth.com.au/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; the only thing is i think you have to be a registered client to buy it.
