| Abstract: | A simple, quick method for removing ectoparasites from birds is demonstrated. The apparatus is easy to build, light and easy to use under field conditions. The apparatus is most useful for removing large ectoparasites such as louse flies from wild birds, but it can also be used to remove smaller ectoparasites such as lice, fleas and mites. |
