I worm all my birds 4 times a year. I do it at the start of every season which makes it easier to remember. I try to avoid rainy and really hot days & i also change the wormers every now and then so the little wriggles don't develop any immunity to a particular wormer.

Harvey, I was advised to dose the moxidectin at 5ml/l

Now is the best time to worm youre finches just before the breeding season.

Thanks Nathan

As everybody says now is a good time, I usually use aristopet bird wormer but this year I've changed to ivomec just for something different as I don't want my birds to get immune to the same old wormer.
