Safe insecticide in an aviary birdbath ?

[redluom]

After watching my birds enthusiastically fluttering around in their bird bath, I wondered was there a safe product that I could add to their water to eliminate any mites, lice etc, seems to me it would be a way for them to self medicate or is there no "silver bullet" ? not that I am aware of any problems but as a precautionary measure, would appreciate any advice from our learned friends here.

I haven't tried it myself ,but i know of a breeder that put's s76 in the bath water and swears by it,garyh

Thanks garyh, don't want to appear ignorant but what is s76 ? maybe I know it as something else.

S76 is another form of ivermectin,used for air sack mites,to my knowledge,garyh

Thanks garyh, could be worth a try with caution
