 Both [[:Category:Sucking Lice|sucking]] and [[:Category:Chewing Lice|chewing lice]] have similar life cycles.  The females lay eggs, which are usually white.  The female is capable of producing several hundred eggs in a lifetime.  These stick to the hair or feathers on the host.    Sucking lice feed on blood using their piercing mouth parts.  Mammalian chewing lice feed on hair shafts or dermis.  The bird lice are also capable of digesting keratin, so can eat feathers.
