so last time i went to the vet they tested Ike for mites etc. as the symptoms for air sac mites are the same as a respiratory infection and it would explain why it kept coming back so quickly ... well he tested positive :eek: so all 4 of the fids had to go to the vet today for treatment because the share a living space :bash: i wouldn't mind but every time i think i can almost get the budgies a cage upgrade the funds disappear and i have to start again and in 10 days time they all have to go back for round 2 *sigh* the many joys of parrot owning :hehe:

That's definitely frustating. But the most important thing is their health, and seems like you are homing in on that now. Got your priorities straight.
