Cody-Blu, female Blue-Crowned Conure, Hatched - (approx) June 1, 2014, in a South Florida tree.

Pritti (Cherry-Head Conure) -- Fly in Peace my beautiful boy. Forever I'll love you.
This was not happening yesterday. First I noticed a spot on right foot this afternoon. Couple hours later I noticed left foot skin flaking off. She doesn't seem to have discomfort and had been otherwise as energetic as usual. Eating fine too. Let's me touch and look at her feet close up. Planning to take her to A-vet tomorrow for a look-see. She is 6 mos old. Adopted from a local rescue 2 months ago. Thanks for your input.

I've never seen such flaking. Hope all is well with Cody; any updates from the vet?
 
Hello Wannabe,

I asked my wife whom is a Vet assistance, and she said it appears to be a "mite", Chickens are prone to this as well. Mix some cream antibiotics with some baby oil, even Vaseline will sooth the scales and likely suffocate the mites which get under the skin.
Not saying that's what it is, but what it looks like. :green:
