Mites will eventually kill the bird. It needs to be properly medicated and triaged. Even if you do not see an obvious wound, cat or dog saliva, which is full of nasty bacteria, can still get into a bird’s eyes/orifices and will eventually kill the bird; it will just die more slowly and painfully. Ok, so you’ve rescued a bird.

When I see a band I imagine something slipping beneath it and trapping the bird, I’ve seen photos of birds with so many bands it looks like they’re wearing stockings, and then there’s the awful story of Violet , whose band eventually killed her. She was tired, thin, and had several medical issues. And to prove it, there’s The Queen.
