No they started stuffing them in boxes before ai got a good look. She told me one had a sore foot and that was an extra freebee. Funny I had asked if she'd take less and she said no that they are really nice birds. LOL I do feel bad for her since she just had a mastectomy so I know she's been sick but this has been going on for a while.

you got dooped, always always look at and check out the birds you are purchaseing no matter what the sellers says.

I put vetrx under there wings and used mineral oil and vicks vapor rub on there legs. I soaked and scrubbed there legs but wasn't sure if I should cut the stuff off there feet. It's not dirt. Almost like growths or warts is the only way I can describe it. I'm told they have bumble foot too. Not sure how to get rid of that. What's a good wormer I can use for them?

Can you just trim the beaks with dog nail clippers? I've never done it.

you can use toe nail clippers, and or very fine sand paper works.

When I have had to trim my cockatiel's beak I used a dremel tool with the sanding attachment. Would that work here?

i would think so, just be careful becouse they jump to much.
we always use either a toenial clipper and use fine sand paper sme time wet the sand paper to smooth out the beak.

the warts is actully from dirt build up and or wet lands. being in wet aerea for far to long.
actully hubby did say a while back that his father used to use vicks on the birds legs.
