Bird lice or bird mites are tiny creatures that are naturally found in birds such as pigeons, starlings, sparrows and poultry. They are prey to these birds for the food on their warm blood. These pests are introduced when there is presence of a vacated nest nearby. They can also be caused by our pets such as dogs and cats or even by rodents.

Once they enter the households, bird lice should not be taken lightly. They are capable of biting and feeding on an individual host and causing annoying itch. Even if you do not have pets, you can still encounter with bird mites from birds who are roosting nearby.
