Pet's info: Bird | Cockatiel | Male
Hello, my cockatiel has lice. In India I am not getting any spray for bird lice. One of the pet shop person asked me to use notix powder on bird. Can I use it on cockatiel? If not can I get suggestion for any other way?

Thanks for reaching out about Oscar. Not sure about the Notix powder. Bathing with a baby shampoos such as Johnsons and Johnsons No Tears or Dawn dishsoap. These soaps can manually remove the lice. Provide a warm temperature to dry. Lice are rarely life threatening but a sign that Oscar is not grooming himself well, possibly due to other illness. Good luck.
