:shock: Please don't cut your birds feet on purpose.

Here is an article of foot problems from alergies to handling birds with tobacco skokers hands to the common bumblefoot bacterial infection. What you are doing with the antibiotics is best :D

I would not be brave enough to cut their foot either.

Here is another site that discusses bumble foot:

Hope the little one gets better soon.
