I just treated mine. I got Moxidectin mixture from the vet and you give .5ml per 100ml in their drinking water. Repeat after 3 weeks. Worked a treat.
The birds sound like they are sniffing when they have it. Hope this helps

I use a drop of ivomectin on the back of the head, has been very effective on my gouldians.
