Re: What should I do?
Posted by KarenH on 4/13/05

At night put a white papertowel in the bottom of your bird's
cage. In the morning take a magnifying glass and check the
paper towel. Mites will be little red thingies on the towel.
You can then buy some mite spray and spray your bird and clean
and spray the cage. Or you can take it to a vet to have it
done.

I'd ditch the bird protector. They stink like insecticide and
are not good for your bird to be around 24/7.
