Why is my parakeet's feet peeling?

Nov 19, 03:30 PM

I just got a parakette for my daughters b-day. About 2 days later I realized that it's feet were peeling. Is it something I did or didn't do?

I've given it a bath twice and it is eating and drinking and it is doing great getting familair with all of us it doesn't bite or run away when you stick your hand in the cage (we've only had it for a little under a week) so all around it seems happy and healthy. So why this problem?

I've looked through all my books and checked on the net but can not find an answer to this.

  1. Sounds like scaly feet if the bird is not always biting at its feet.If its biting at its feet its probably mites.Ivermectin 0.5% will take care of both.Also Scatts will do the same.Eqvalan also is a water base that works well for both, plus gets rid of worms also if added to the bird bath or water as directed bought from www.siegelpigeons.comPowered by Yahoo Answers http://answers.yahoo.com/
