sick currawong - white feet

["inger vandyke" <>]

Hi All,

Just my humble opinion.  If it's not mud, then I would assume this could be 
a manifestation of poor diet in the bird.  Do you live in a highly populated 
area?  Or near a rubbish tip?
I have seen domestic pigeons with growths gnarling their feet and always 
assumed this is diet related.
Would be interested to know from others if this is the case?

Cheers,

Inger
