i thought of mites, but they are in an aviary with 3 other species of birds. the others are fine. could i treat just the legs for mites, because the precautions on the mite medication bottle sounds excessive. i can't seem to find an avian vet here.

REPLIED

Just because all aren't showing signs doesn't mean thats not what it is. Some birds are more sensitive and others can live with it with no signs. What is the medication? Also, what city are you in because I may be able to find a vet in your area.
