So sorry. :(
Thank you so much for following up with the diagnosis.
Best of Luck with your search for a new cockbird.
I had a Wellie cock, he was a great bird.
That is really odd....I'd guess some kind of growth or tumor?
Kinda don't think it's the mites.
Not sure what advice to give, but keep an eye on it, sorry.
Great pics.
This sounds like a typical stretching of the legs.....indicates a fairly relaxed bird IME.
Better pics would help......got anyone that could help by taking some pics while you stretch the left leg out?
Left leg(his left leg, on right side of pic) looks freshly injured?
Is there a cut?
Right leg/foot looks swollen, middle toe always that crooked?
Any cuts on right foot on bottom or...
