Hello everyone, I had a question about mites on a baby blue jay. I've been keeping an eye on a blue jays nest in my tree for about a week or so. I know that there were at least three babies, but today there were none, and i thought maybe they all flew the coup. Until today when my nephew spotted a baby on a shelf in my shed. He seemed "stuck" not able to fly well. So I tried to pick him up, but he got away and, just coasted to the ground where I was afraid my cat or dog would get him. I picked him up again with the idea to put him back in the nest., but by the time someone grabbed a ladder for me, my hand was full of what I believe were mites coming off the bird. At that point I didn't know what to do to help him so I ended up putting him back in the nest. Now he seems to be gone, but I was wondering if this amount of mites were normal or if he had an infestation, and was probably going to die anyway. Is there hope for this little guy? and could there have been more I could have done for him? I know I couldn't take him in ,and put my Parrot into jeapardy .Should I have called wildlife rehab in this situation? Is there a mite killer I could have used on him natural or otherwise? Thank you to whomever with any help on this, it is nagging me that I should have done more.
