I have a long standing problem which has taken 5 birds in a large indoor aviary. I got one bird and foolishly believed it was healthy and put it in the flock. Now I only use quarantine. Anyway, I now have your book. I have treated for airsac mites and my vet had me use Nystatin and Baytril (sorry for spelling) My birds still (some more than others) yawn, two have dry areas around eyes, they are somewhat puffy and a new bird starts the yawn and possible throat irritation within a few hours. I think it is a virus or coccidiosis? I just finished with S76. They itch also. What now? I will buy whatever might help. THANK YOU! I so what them healthy. I Have 3 Goulds left, two pair cordon bleu (blue head), one large green singer (canary size)in separate cage and two black hooded nuns. The nuns were a gift, I put them in the hospital cage, 3 weeks and fine, moved them into the same room as the aviary (8x10') and they started to yawn already. Thanks for your answer, sorry this is so long. Diana
