Answers:

several people have answered this if they are fruit flies..do a PetQnA.com search.

A woman said the following worked.

Put apple cidar vinegar and a little water in a wine glass or a dish with a paer funnel..add a few drops of dish soap..the vinegar attracts them and the soap makes it so their legs can't gwet them out.

I am trying it now as I had some tomatoes out and now in the house disgusting me.

Clean out her cage and any other part of the house that the flies could get food at. This includes dirty dishes..food in the garbage..etc.

Good luck because those bugs are hard to get rid of =) I think after 2 or 3 days though if your house is really clean then they'll either die or leave.

First - thoroughly clean the cage. Replace all the food & water. Then, I would take the parakeet to the vet to see if it needs to be cleaned/checked for bugs.

I had the same problem.really bad.

I left a small amount of red wine in the bottom of the bottle and placed it close to the birds cage over night. The flies got trapped in the "long neck" bottle and.that was that. Took me about 12 hours to rid my house.

first check cleanliness of cage then go out and buy a small bottle of cheap red wine put it in the room colse to the cage the will go into it and cant get out and drown ive done it it works

Start keeping the birdfood in the refridgerator. Also, clean the cage every day, and wipe it down with plain warm water. That should help.

Good luck.
