A friend of mine passed me this picture of a female chaffinch which appears to be suffering with something wrong with her feet.
Anyone know what is the problem?

Hi Tiger, I see the same problem in some of our garden Chaffinches on occasion as they are prone to a disease called viral papillomas which are Warts. take a look HERE

Very interesting. I've seen a few poor Chaffinches with the same symptoms and never got round to asking about it. You learn something new every day.

Thanks Alan and Hazy. Those answers are very useful. Sadly there does not seem to much by way of a cure.
