I rescued a female from the pet shop today. She has watery discharge coming from her nose, sneezing and breathing heavy. I used this video to help me treat her. 🙏🏽 that it worked. I will treat again in 21 days. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you, that's why I did this video because when I first started looking on RUclips, There wasn't a lot of videos showing how to treat it or what it looks like when the bird is infected. Oh by the way, Intro is kind of hilarious lol
My husbaand just show me your video. Very beautiful gouldian finch video and good info my husband is Tonys Primitive animals. Heblove animals and i support him. Thankyou for this info.
Aww, your welcome. Any info I can provide feel free to message me anytime. That's what this channel is for, to share my experience and knowledge about these birds with everyone else
My two cockatiel have just been treated. This stuff is strong and works well. It's also harmless to the bird and doesn't interfere with other medications so if you suspect treat anyways. You can order it online, vet offices and bird stores often also carry it or a simular product.
Thank you for posting this! One of my budgie's has been sick and I'm pretty sure this is what she has and now the other budgie is starting to get symptoms. I bought this medicine but wasn't sure how to apply it so thank you!!
@@tonysprimitiveanimals8445 You will have to order it online. Try Magnolia bird farm in Riverside Ca. Google the company and call them and ask them if they can ship to u. I'm pretty sure if you Google Scatt for sale you might find it around closer to you
Question: I didn't know this. But, can't they be gasping for air if they are too hot? If a temperature is too hot? I notice the females do that in the nest where I have given them cotton balls to use with their nesting. Is it too hot for them? They aren't showing signs of sleepiness. ALSO: what do you recommend for a heat lamp? I see you have one in the background.
Thank you for this video. I just bought a female Goulian yesterday and she was making that clicking noise on the way home my friend that raises Gouldians he doesn’t keep the place that clean. I mean the cages were really dirty, but the bird look good and like I said he was making that clicking noise like you were doing on the video and, I have ivermectin. I do have Scott too so can I use both? I already use the ivermectin but I put it behind his neck that’s what I saw in another video and I also have I haven’t used that. It might be expired when you get time when you get a chance, please let me know. Thank you again.
I just subscribed ... I'm getting my first pair of gouldians this weekend I cant wait.. I'm been watching alot of RUclips videos but it seems u know so much
Yes but it takes longer for the birds to get cured from Air SAC MITES. They sell the SCATT to put in the water but from my understanding takes about 30 days to clear up
I just wanted to make sure if my bird has this too so if anyone could help me thank you but he keeps closing and opening his eyes and beak every few seconds and it’s sounds like a little click, also I never grabbed my bird before so how do I know what spot to put it on if he does have it?
I just put the scatt on my canaries thigh praying she doesn't die😩 she has had a rough life I rescued her from a pet store who doesn't take care of their Birds I have had her for a year now and she has been bullied in the Aviary that I have.
My new finches are being quarantined because they have air sac mites. I used scat today. How long should I wait before putting them in the aviary with other birds?
Hi there! The directions on the label say to put it between the shoulder blades not the thigh. I have a canary. What should I do?? Why do you do the thigh
The thigh area is fine as long as you get the medicine on the birds skin. I've been using Scatt for years and there is no problem putting it on the thigh area
Hello, so glad I got to see your video. I have a gaudian, had a pare, she died on Monday . Don’t know why...! But how do you know if thy have mights.....? Pls advise . Do or can one treat all kind of birds in that way. I have a spray, that thy use here. But I don’t know how to tell if my birds have mites....
Sorry for the late response. One good way to tell if your bird has Mites, you will hear your bird sneeze a lot and wipe its beak on the perches. bird is sleeping during the day. bird gasping for air then you know at that point the bird has Air sac Mites.
LUNA'S WEST COAST GOULDIAN FINCH yes it really sucks , thy are expensive birds . I live on a island of Portugal but not Portuguese, I don’t know if I can get that liquid here . But will fine out at the pet shops. You are very kind to reply. Thank you so much . I am now looking for a mate for my bird so thy hopefully will greed for the summer coming . I just love these birds . 🌹❤️🙏🏻
@@izabeau1953 Your Welcome. That's another reason why I did this video. Their is not a lot of videos about these birds especially treating Air Sac Mites
I have dusted mine in the past with seven dust to treat them. You get a spoon full of seven dust and put in a brown paper bag put the bird in the bag move the bag around gently and release the bird in its cage and it should be good after a few days.
I haven't bred gouldian finches in over 15 years I used to be one of the biggest breeders in South Florida I used to produce over a thousand babies every breeding season
Hey bro my gouldian finch has like a swollen neck, it was showing couple months ago but than it went away and now it’s bigger than it’s ever been like a reddish swollen neck if u can point me to the right direction plz lmk would appreciate ur feedback goodlooks
Bacterial infections can cause the same things but they tend to be a direct result of the finch not eating as much or as well. Masses or lumps in the crop or neck of your finch can also be a sign of protozoa, not bacteria
LUNA'S WEST COAST GOULDIAN FINCH gotcha wow thanks yeah I usually see him jus eating branch of skillet or whatever it’s called can’t think of it, but what else can I do bro ? Jus been changing the water and cleaning the cage , I was putting kale in it but I took it out
If the bird has a real bad case of AIR SAC MITES it can take up to one week to clear but at the same time the bird will need a heat lamp in a hospital cage. Do not treat the bird again for AIR SAC MITES unless its 21 days later. The medicine is very strong and it can kill the bird. Also you must apply 1 drop of the medicine on the skin of the birds thigh area.
Medicine starts to take effect immediately. If the bird is not too sick, the turn around time for full recovery 24hrs to 2 days. If the birds is too sick, bird needs to be placed in a small hospital cage with a heat lamp to help recover. They need heat when they are after treatment. Can take up to a week for the bird to get better. Remember 1 drop on the thigh area. Not on the feathers
@@lagirl6874 If the bird is too sick sometimes they can't come back from it. If the bird is very sick, You have to place the bird in a hospital cage with a heat lamp after you apply the Scatt
I will treat them because they have been exposed, better safe than sorry. I will then treat the birds again 21 days after the 1st treatment to kill the rest of the eggs that are left in the birds lungs
Diatomaceous earth is not a good idea because these are air sac mites (in their lungs) and it would get stuck in their lungs, and cause choking and lung damage. Scatt or similar Ivermectin-based products are the only way to go. Not all finches need to be treated but Gouldians are especially susceptible to air sack mites.
Yes But puffing up is normal. If the bird is sleeping during the day a lot, If you see the bird gasping for air is another sign, Sneezing and appearing real weak
Thank-you so much for posting this. It really shows how to apply it. I just got 4 Gouldian Finches & have a question for you about another topic. Have you ever had Gouldians to be 'stargazer' or 'stargazing'. The 1st day here in their cage I noticed one finch doing it. Now I have 2. Everything I can find on the Web says that if not seen by an Avian Vet.that the condition usually gets worse leading to death. The finches were flown & shipped from a Breeder in Florida. No one knows what happened on the way to me but 50% have it. And I may have more & just cannot catch all of them doing it. They can perch, looks like they are eating & drinking fine. I was just wondering if you or anyone you know have had to deal with it & what was possible outcome. Thank-you for any advice. Calling Avian Vet in morning to get an appt. I cannot just sit back & do nothing. I'm not that type of person. Thank-you for your time.
Sometimes they know when the eggs are bad and they will kick them and sometimes they can push them out by accident from going in and out of the nest box
More than likely it's deficiencies in the bird and not just a bad egg. Make sure they have live insects during breeding or you'll see a lot of chick tossing and bad parenting. along with calcium in several sources including their water and you'll see far better success. @@Batman-on6gn
@@TheRootMessage Gouldians don't need live insects. I've raised many Gouldians and they do fine with a high protein food, in addition to regular seed. Most Gouldians are picky and won't eat live insects. But live food is great for most other finches.

Would you still rub it in the birds thighs if they had scaly face mites?
You can put some underneath the wing or thigh. the thigh area is more affective to me
Very good information thank you very much

How long does it take for the bird to recover after applying Scatt? I have applied 2 days back still dont see any effect.
