Feet are looking a bit flaky

I noticed this afternoon my one canary's feet look a bit flaky. (see attached pic)

Has anyone seen this, and how can I treat it? I've taken it out of the aviary and brought it inside in a backup cage we have.

Looks like scaley leg mites to me... You can take your canary to an avian vet, or try treating it yourself.
