Most birds do not need any type of medication on there feet. I would be concerned that possible Blue Moon is having a mild flare up of bumble foot. This is an infection of the foot which causing sores and thickening of the skin. If you feel like the feet are abnormal I would recommend taking Blue moon to the vet to make sure he does not need medication. If his feet appear normal but a little dry I would not be really concerned about this.
