It could be a feather shaft that has not formed properly.

Is it hard, or can you squash it? He shouldn't have a feather forming on his foot, but strange things can happen. It almost looks like a claw growing in the wrong place. That shouldn't happen either.  |

My Eric has feathery feet, just above his ankle equivalent. No its not normal but it does happen sometimes. I agree though, that does look more claw like.

Not sure I have ever seen a yellow claw, but I have seen yellow feather shafts, it looks just like the ones that Billy-Bob had on his head, they never formed properly or opened, they had a weird yellow liquid in them.  |

So the consensus seems to be that weird things do form in weird places on our birds, but not necessarily something to worry about. |

They do seem to sometimes Hezz I personally wouldn't worry about it. |

Hello! Your post reminded me of something on my Sky’s foot which I think is harmless and maybe similar? It’s like skin. Thought I’d take a photo to show you.  Sorry for all the gross white bits in the photo, Sky was preening herself on me  |

That looks like a couple of her feet "scales" have grown oddly, presuming there is nothing actually in it, Becca??

No well... they’ve been there for quite some time now, I didn’t think to ask the vets but I assume they would’ve said something when examining her? (I wasn’t allowed into the actual vets when she was in because of corona). I don’t think there’s anything in them from what I can see x |

Doesn't look to be anything to be worried about ... as we all get older we get odd lumps in odd places. I've certainly got my share! It looks to be a budgie version of a skin tag. |

I've seen the sticking up feet scales before, (my Sky had some too) and that is just what they are.
