There are many types of mites that can infest and kill birds. There is also a type of mite that lives in flowers and depends on hummingbirds to transport them from one flower to the next. However, these mites hop on at one flower and off at the next; they only use the bird as transportation, they don't live on the bird, and don't crawl all over it. Have you run your video by the folks at the Audubon Society? They would likely be able to give you a good answer, or direct you to somrone who can.</p><p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/whonu5/" ><img src="http://www.viddler.com/store/big_unknown.gif" border="0" /></a></p> Sat, 03 Jan 2009 04:11:07 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/Pungh0Li0/videos/20/comments/1 whonu5 2009-01-03T04:11:07Z
