The pigeons are beautiful - Smokey has a nice coloring to him (her?). I don't really like crows but I do feel sorry for this one with whatever it has on it's toe. I suppose it's some kind of infection?

Smokey is a boy, and he has permanent neuro problems. The crow has avian pox which is a viral infection.

Terry, as always I love the pictures. You probably have seen me post about how much I love crows so I particularly enjoyed his picture. The first one is really beautiful. At least the pox isn't on his face. Hope he can fully recover.

Hi Phil,

Those are avian pox lesions on the toes. As Maggie mentioned, there are no lesions on the beak area which is good. I'm hoping to be able to get those lesions on the feet dried up ASAP. Though some birds (like pigeons) seem to handle avian pox very well, it is very hard on corvids. It's also very contagious and easily spread through carelessness and poor hygiene, so I have to be very careful when caring for this crow as well as the little pigeon that has pox on his/her beak.

It looks like the crow has feathers overlapping onto his beak. Glad he is in good hands! Smokey, Kiwi, and the 'tiels have such beautiful coloring! Thanks for sharing your great photos!

Hi Terri,

This is normal for crows, they are modified feathers that are like bristles that protect and filter out things from entering the nostrils

Terry, thanks for all the great pics...they are all wonderful

Terry,

The crow is so cute. The pox lesion on the toe looks different from the pox I am used to seeing.

The doves are just beautiful and I see you have some pigeons with the head gear going on, too! It is so cute!

I love your new avatar too, priceless!

Hi Andi,

No, this crow is particularly disenchanted with humans and is quite a little biter. He or she definitely does not appreciate my care, but that's ok
