Sun Conure - feet turn yellow green overnight. (CASE NOW CLOSED)


THE CASE OF YELLOW FEET - now solved.

Hey everyone. (please read update first)


UPDATE:  GUEST WHAT!!!  This was a false alarm.  Conrad's favourite perch is painted in yellow and green (as well as red and blue, but he does not land on these colours)!  He had a massive bath 2 days ago and was soaked and then landed on this perch to dry off.  Phew!  Now I have to email the sites that I have asked for help with to tell them of the false alarm.  :)  Please share this lesson with friends, I am sure many experience this false alarm. :)


The concern

Conrad's feet have turned yellow green overnight and we are worried it is a symptom of disease.  However, as usual, there are many factors that could have contributed to this.  Two days ago Conrad landed on a pizza stone that had just come out of the oven.  He was on it for 2 seconds and I cannot see how he would have burnt his feet.

1  How sensitive are Conures feet to burns?

2.  Could this be from some kind of infection?

If your reading this and are a Conure owner, have you seen this before?

We need your help.  Case solved, see update above!
