Bird scaly face and leg mites, also known as Knemidokoptic mange, are microscopic parasites that burrow into the skin of birds, causing irritation, crusting, and thickening of the scales on the face, beak, and legs. If left untreated, it can lead to feather loss, secondary infections, and even death.
