Parakeet feet color???

Question

Blue Feet
Hi! I just noticed that my parakeet's feet are bluish grey. Is there something wrong with him? It's been there ever since I got him. The other parakeets I own have pink feet.

Please help me! I don't know if blue feet are normal!

Answer

Blue Feet
That is very observant of you to notice the color of your parakeets feet/legs. There is nothing wrong with your bird at all. I immediately noticed that your bird is of a blue color, or as we should say "dark" color feathers. Birds with darker feathers usually have darker skin, their feet and legs included. If something were wrong with your parakeets feet/legs, you would notice swelling in the legs, dry and peeling skin, and generally unhealthy looking.
