But the night is still young

If the "bad thing" happens, I will turn it into a falling star.

I need some advice, folks. Monkey has a bit of a limp today. He is such a sweet good tempered boy, and while he didn't jump into my arms, it wasn't that much of a fight to get hold of him, and he was calm in my arms and let me mess around looking at his feet.

First, I think he might maybe have beginning bumble foot - this is a first for me. Here's a photo - sorry, ti was close and I had a hard time focusing. But that patch isn't poop, it's sort of a smooth patch/scab. There is no "stuff underneath - I think this is very early. Can anyone remind me of the non surgical approaches? (I think someone posted that here - I'm going to try to look, but it's hard to find stuff sometimes on here.)




But, while examining his feet, I was sort of taken aback by the way the spots where his feathers come out looked. I'm new to birds with feathered feet - is this normal? (He has muddy poopy feet in this photo, sorry - that's not blood.)








For what it's worth, the limp seems to support the "beginning bumble foot" side being the problem, not the "crazy gross looking" feather foot side...

X 2 - If I had his, you can bet this is exactly what I would do, too!!!

I was told do soak the feet in epsom salt.
