DIY Scaly Face Treatment

Help your bird recover from scaly face mites! Use a cotton swab to wipe a thin layer of petroleum jelly onto your bird’s beak and feet, ensuring that your bird’s nostrils are not covered. If there is any inflammation, mix two drop of 10% betadine solution with the petroleum jelly before applying it. Wash your bird’s perches and food bowl thoroughly with bleach, and give your bird a carrot, pea, piece of sweet potato, or other vitamin A rich food more often than you were previously.
