Help IRN feet skin peeling!

Post by Parrotlover101 »

So iam not sure if this is skin peeling but it dosent look like it so today my Alex who is 6-7 months old stepped in his poop i didnt bother to clean it off LOL(iam such a bad person) but i noticed now that it has gotten stale and so the urine became a solid peel so i just took a damp paper towel and placed it on his leg and then just took the peice of skin/and our urine out and it wasnt like glued on to the foot what do you think it is, is it skin or is it just the urine?

If the urine/faeces are acidic, it could be, but I have heard of a condition called Scaly Foot, this is why it is advisable to add rosewater and glycerin to the misting bottle, to prevent it. I am not a vet, so if this persists maybe your bird should have a check up.
