Hiya guys,
Just home from Canberra bird sale
I put the new birds i brought in a cage away from my main ones and I've just been getting the new ones sorted out and settled and I've noticed the new male to the pair of yellow gouldians has a crook foot .... will put his weight on it if need be but is resting with it tucked under him i had him out and bathed it in light salted water its not puss at all looks more scabby if anything .... and slightly deformed toes any idea what i can do to help fix this for the poor bugga i soaked it thinking it might have been poop ... but seems like scabs just at the tips of the toes .... any help will be great thanks , Kell

Did you notice these things with them whilst they were at the sale?? The seller shouldn't have even had them for sale if they were like that.

Can you post a pic? sounds like a bad infestation of scaly leg mite. As for the canary could be stress Coccivet and spark should fix and keep in a quiet place.
