They look like the lice eggs I've seen.....but I've never seen mite eggs.Got a few pictures, pretty sure they are lice, yes?
I use the headlight at night to see the bugs themselves, gotta be quick tho, as they are.

with the spray also do the base of the tail ...you probably wont need to spray them in a week . but check them to make sure .Small whitish moving specks are lice, and very tiny moving dark colored specks are mites. Neither are good for your birds! Wild songbirds are the main vectors for both, at least in a closed flock like mine. Miserable!

Ok thank you!Small whitish moving specks are lice, and very tiny moving dark colored specks are mites. Neither are good for your birds! Wild songbirds are the main vectors for both, at least in a closed flock like mine. Miserable!

What do you mean by 'more'?I changed shavings, and sprayed some birds (couldn’t catch 2 of them, will do tonight). I accidentally did more than recommended, is that ok? I don’t think that would have been enough because some had it on their bums and under their wings.
I just sprayed where I saw them, I didn’t necessarily think about quantity, and yes I made sure to get it on the skin. I checked pretty much all over every bird, but I will do a night check with a flashlight tonight.What do you mean by 'more'?
Good to give a squirt around neck too.
Get the squirts onto the skin.
I spray a few squirts around vent and belly, one under each wing, on back of neck.I just sprayed where I saw them, I didn’t necessarily think about quantity, and yes I made sure to get it on the skin. I checked pretty much all over every bird, but I will do a night check with a flashlight tonight.
