What is scaly face?
Scaly face is caused by burrowing mites and as the name suggests attacks the face. The legs and feet can also be a target from these mites called Knemidokoptes pilae. If left untreated a rough scaly growth can appear. Most notably is the birds bill which can elongate in its growth with a rough appearance making it easy to identify. The disease is usually not life threatening but very annoying and deformities can form. Scatt use can be successful in keeping this mite under control.
