Can I use natural remedies or coconut oil for budgie cere mites?

Question

Hi, I was wondering whether there is any natural remedy for my budgie's cere? I'm afraid that they are mites, however I do not see them active at night. It's hard for me to find an avian vet in my country.. I hope its not a very serious issue. He still jumps around and quite actively chirping. I've heard that putting coconut oil or vaseline will help, but is it really safe? Please help, thanks! Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male | 0.072 lbs

It's very likely to be mites but there are no natural remedies for this condition, it is treated with a medication called Ivermectin, every vet has this medication and could provide it to you. coconut oil or Vaseline won't solve the problem or even help at all.
