: I have parokeets the female has developed a fungus that is white and crusty on her feet and beak. is this common and is it life threatning and should i take her to a vet immidiately? Thanks for the help

Danny,
Sounds like scaly mites. No, it's not immediately life threatening but the mites are slowly eating the beak and flesh of the feet. I would make an appointment with my avian vet A.S.A.P.
