Tiniest little bug. I only saw 4 legs, but it probably has more. Adding more pics in the comments, can only upload one. Phone wouldn't really focus on it.

Deleted my previous comment as it was cursed somehow and inserted constant spaces....

The middle one here looks a lot like a tick to me, likely in the nymph phase; also a quick search for 'bird mite' also included a good number of images of ticks as well (I had included a screenshot with some circled). You might be able to send them to your local agriculture department to be formally identified if you wanted to.
