They are very small, crawling on the walls and everywhere else in my room, including me, and I found a few bites on my legs. recently Myna birds had a nest outside my window and I think they may be bird mites. Is it possible to identify if they are bird mites or what are they from the picture?
Thanks to anyone that will help!

I cannot identify these critters from your images; if the Myna bird nest recently was abandoned by the birds, mites would be a distinct possibility. See if these publications can be of any help:

They are probably bird mites because I cleaned the place the nest was in and sow Alot of them there, it is written that they are self eliminating problem as they can't reproduce on humans so I hope they will go away soon.
