Are feather mites and depluming mites the same thing?This looks like feather mites to me. Very difficult to get rid off, all birds have them to some degree. I did this...Ivermectin Pour On, 10 drops on the back of neck skin, once a week for a few weeks. Use Probiotics during and after to help boost the immune system. These feathers will look ratty until the bird molts in the fall. These mites live up in the feathers and come down to the skin only after consuming a feather, looking for another feather to consume. The Ivermectin will only kill these invisible pests when they get onto the skin. They don't lay eggs but give birth to live mites.
