Aussie Finch Forum

Hi all,
I know that canaries can carry airsac mite and it is best to keep them away from finches but I was wondering if this is the same for Green Singers as they are related to canaries. I suppose my question is, are Singers prone to carrying airsac mite in the same way as canaries? Thanks for any advice.

I have kept canaries and finches together for about 30yrs. Regular perch replacement and sensible use of Ivomec means that I now have the situation managed well. So just change your perches completely at least every 4 months, and Ivomec at least bi-annually.

I keep canaries, gouldians and othe cup nesterz...all mite magnets. I seldom have issues but i use moxi as directed above at mist twice a year. I re brush 3 times a yr and use a good surface spray.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll keep the Moxi up to them, as I already do.
Cheers, Deegs.
