Currawong leg/foot problem

["Jackett family" <>]

Hi Akos

I am no expert but I do rehab birds for WIRES also.  This looks possibly
like mites which get under the skin, and I have seen it in reptiles where
they get under the scales and the scales have a lifted terraced appearance
similar to this.  This looks like a very serious case though.  A good avian
vet could diagnose it for you and as you suggested it may be a fungal
infection or even the pox virus.  Do you have an experienced bird carer in
your branch?  You could also put it on the WIRES Intranet for discussion.

Regards,
