My bird's foot is itchy and bleeding from scratching. What to do?

Question

My bird always scratches his foot and it bleeds and his foot is very itchy I don't know what to do? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

Your bird may have a skin infection, like from a bacteria or fungus, or he may have skin mites causing him to be so itchy. I would recommend taking him to the vet to be checked out so that the underlying problem can be treated and he will stop being so itchy. I hope this helps.
