frontline spray for cats works a miracle  :D or u can try barriers lice powder or johnsons flea an tick spray for small birds .

frontline just needs a spray on the back of the neckline i have used drops but as i got 19 birds they didnt last long think i got 4 birds done with one pipete and i only had 3  :lol: next time i am getting the spray also red mite spray for the house .
