Wood ash is great. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is fine, but only food grade and only a small amount, since it has the potential to be harmful to the bird's respiratory systems. Sand is a good abrasive to kill the parasites, and a base made of very fine, dusty dirt will help smother them.

Yep, ash from a burn pile or a fireplace works.
