:''Perhaps you were looking for the Scaly-foot gastropod snail that employ metal in its shell ..?'' Scaly foot is a bird ailment that is common among finches, parakeets (budgies), and canaries. It is caused by mites burrowing into the animal's flesh. The tracts made by the mites within the skin cause scaly lesions. Scaly face is also caused by the same mite responsible for scaly foot in budgies. Commonly known as scaly face, scaly legs, or tassel foot, knemidocoptiasis affects primarily the face and legs of birds around the world worldwide and can be fatal. 〔 〕 ==Etymology== ''Knemidocoptic mange'' (mānj ) From the Latin ''manducare'' (to itch), mange is a skin disease caused by mites in domestic and wild animals. Knemidocoptic, from the Greek ''knemid'' (greave, a piece of armor that protects the leg) and ''koptein'' (to cut), refers to the morphology and pathogenesis of mites of the genus ''Knemidocoptes'', which are burrowing mites of birds. 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scaly foot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
