Ok, so I always come up with questions and have no idea where or who to ask...
my current question is do/can ticks kill birds like they do with cats, dogs, ect? I know reptiles(or some anyway) can last awhile with them but how bout birds?

 

[Kitah]

Yes they can kill birds... I've mostly seen tick paralysis in water birds- they spend more tike on the ground, and particularly because they are obviously near bodies of water where there are generally more ticks to start with.

How bout Quakers, teils, and princess parrots? Just I quite often find them on me after being down our coast house(with wetlands behind) and am just concerned on what would happen if one got on my babies

 

[Kitah]

It is possible, yes. Somewhat less likely- for one, parrots tend to be better at preening in a way- they should be able to grasp a tick if within reach. Also as they spend more time up on perches, reduces their risk. If they were constantly foraging on the ground it is possible. Some animals will have somewhat of a natural immunity or resistance to the toxin but it depends on the individual

so, i would not say itis impossible for them to suffer from tick paralysis.

[andynic07]

I didn't think sexing a blue tongue was possible either visually or by probing.

no need for the riddles lawra im just a bubbly person that likes to joke and smile if that annoys you im sorry but im not sorry for being me.

 

[andynic07]

Best way is to breed it I guess. Some of the blue tongue experts may be able to tell visually if it is old enough.

 

[Yogi]

I personally was taught by a eastern breeder to tell by head shape the males tend to have a more dominant head wider stronger looking, this is easier to see if you have the two sexes side by side.
I personally have had 100% accuracy with this method but i can only tell as adolescent or older.

My dear Mrs Rainbow!!! I didn't mean you at all It's a rhetorical question which often plagues my thoughts and is most certainly not pointedly aimed at you
