Re: Cockatiels feet are peeling
Posted by Jean on 8/09/07

The best thing to do is take to a vet and not wait for
answers that are just a guessing game at best, there are
many reasons a birds feet could be peeling, from ailments to
cleaning compounds used on the perch and the sensitivity
definetly should be addressed by an Avian vet.
Don't wait for answers here get an appointment. In the
meantime clean the perches with a mild solution of vinegar
and water and rinse well do not let the perches stand in
water and make sure they are dried well before putting them
back in the cage.
Look at the bottom of your birds feet and see if they are
smooth and pinkish red, I would bathe them in semi cool
water if they are.
