The cause of infection by parasites can be their entry into a cage on branches, other things from the street or infection from other birds, and the use of unprocessed food .
The incubation period of such parasites is four months, at this stage it is impossible to detect them. The mite damages skin areas where feathers are absent. Most often it is the beak, the area around the eyes and the paws. In the process of mites, a wavy parrot has a strong itch, the bird stands on one leg for a long time and gnaws another.
In the next stage of the mite's defeat, the parrot has symptoms - on its feet it is adorned, the skin is peeling, the bird is constantly itching, the traces of parasite activity are visible on the beak. When the disease progresses, the structure of the beak changes, it becomes friable, the pet can not normally eat. Next, feathers begin to fall out, and build-ups are formed on uneven skin.
