Lice and Mites on my Pigeons

[tinkbell]

I was wondering how to rid my pigeons of lice and mites, if I could use the pour-on that I use on my chickens? And if so what would the dose be?

 

[Mary Of Exeter]

Yes. The dose is the same as it is for chickens.

Throw a handful of Borax in their bath water will take care of the bugs

I bathed my pigeon in water with human lice shampoo no lice after that

Thanks everyone, just one question won't they drink the borax?

You Can Use Adams Flea And Tick Spray For Dogs On Your Chickens And Pigeons Just Spray Under Each Wing And Around The Vent Feathers.

I did the same thing.. Works great.

A good dusting with seven powder will do the trick too. Worked for me.
