Y/b Dancing ?

[Guest XANADU LOFTS]

Hi All, not been on here for a while, could do with a bit of advice,I have a youngster that is dancing on the spot all the time, it's like he's stood on a hot surface?

I tried bathing him in condis cristals this afternoon but its made no difference, any ideas ?

Thanks in advance Chris.

That's what I first thought, but to be honest I now have my doubts as could not find anything on bird or in section, also he's the only one displaying this behaviour, if mites or lice the condis ctistals normally see them straight off, think I will put him in isolation just to be safe, thanks for fast reply btw

ive seen this in youngsters in the past,havent seen it this year or last.someone told me its red mite,running up the leg and having a bite.next time you see it watch if it pecks around the top of its legs.

Ave had that this year but it was my fault a used jeyes fluid a bit stronger than normal and didn't let it dry rite

They were ok after a day tho
