2 parakeets
Hi, I currently have a sick parakeet which has thisweird growth on her beak as well as above her beak and in her feet.i thought it was mites so I treated her with the dyna - mite spray lice wash and it seemed to slightly help but it seems to continue spreading. She was perfectly fine when I first got her. Also one her of claws has started curling upwards and I don't know why please help. home remedies preferred, thank you 🙏🏻

I am certainly no expert but I would definitely take her to the vet to learn more. Then you can go from there on what to give.

I also recommend an avian vet as I believe she needs treatment that can't be done at home. How long have you had her?

I think that there is a possibility that it is scaly mites.
I don't think that what you used is effective on them, there are specific medicines for some kind of mites. I've always used Ivermectin that was prescribed by my vet for my birds who came to me with scaly mites.

I found this:

Scaly Mites In Birds

And this:

If left untreated, scaly leg mites can cause pain, deformities, loss of toes or lameness.

Here are a list of vets who see birds, just in case you need to find one:

I hope a diagnosis can be found, I'm sending healing prayers to you and your beautiful baby.
