Okay, so I'm freaking out. Gave the birds their doses of Revolution, but we accidentally gave Lara, Ria, and Ziggy twice as much as they should've. Lara was supposed to have 5 doses, but we gave her 8ā10ish. Because we were using this pipette, but, we sucked up too much liquid each dose for these three birds. We were only supposed to depress the thingy half way, but we did it the full way.
This happened, an hour ago? It took a while to medicate everyone. We wiped off some of the medicine with a microfibre cloth off the three, but I don't know if we got enough off. Selamectin has a bigger safety barrier thing than Ivermectin (ivermectin is easily overdosed, but Selamectin/Revolution is safer).
Fudge, so Revolution is considered really safe, but, if they get too much, it crosses the blood/brain barrier, and they can pee blood, become disoriented, have convulsions, go into a coma, or even die. But, like, apparently this doesn't really happen all that often, even with overdoses?
You guys have a clear mind, here!

Like, Lara was supposed to have 25 micrograms, but she got something like 50 micrograms. Ria was supposed to have 20 micrograms, but she had 40 or so micrograms. Ditto for Ziggy.
