Exclamation Peeling Feet... HELP!

My Maximillion's feet are peeling. I had been noticing for a while that little bits of dead skin were coming off but after i took him in the shower today a big bit of dead skin came off. It reminded me of snake skin. It doesn't look like his feet are sore at all and doesn't seem to be bothering him in the slightest but it does seem that his feet peel and lose dead skin after we have a shower but he never lost a big patch of it before. Am i doing something wrong?
Please help!
Thanks, Jay.

Can't be sure without a picture, but birds' feet tend to be pretty scaly. Unless it looks sore or he keeps messing with it, its probably normal. If you're really concerned, I'd say just bring him to the vet...

You can rub some vitamin E oil on them and that will help.
