One of my 4 Ringnecks has a large bald patch around his left ear. I am assuming this is mites. I have read many of your responses stating to use S76. I am wondering if you ever recommend Diatomaceous Earth as treatment. I use this on my chickens outside and they do very well. I have also used Frontline on them and it works too! 1 drop on a bantam. I of course am terrified to use that on my indoor birds but am convinced that the DE can't do any harm. What are your thoughts and if you think it is a good idea would you recommend dusting them or having them eat it? Thanks in advance for your time.
