I came home today and my Hahns macaws feet appeared a little red, predominantly his left foot. The soles of his feet were normal this morning and I was only away for 2hours when I noticed it.
hes around 5 months old and was curious if you had any ideas what could be causing it. I’m going to keep at eye on them and if there’s no change I’ll be calling the vet.
Pictures aren’t the best at showing it.

He’s not tame so I can’t wash it off. I can try using the spray bottle on them tho. I did think it could be the dye on them. Kinda new to parrot ownership so I keep worrying over everything. I’ll give it a go tho

Had you sprayed him recently? Many bird safe toys use dyes that easily rub off when wet, so if he has a wet foot and then touches a toy, the color will likely appear on his skin.
