Bumblefoot is an inflammation of the talons of birds of prey which can be caused by various (exogenous and endogenous) factors. Falcons and eagles suffer more than other species of prey from this complaint. Affected birds show all stages from acute to chronic inflammation. Bumblefoot must be distinguished diagnostically from pox-infections and skin tuberculosis. To a large extent the inflammation can be prevented by providing the bird with a properly designed perch, with a correct diet, and with adequate grooming. Surgical treatment is the only promising therapy, though the chances of success depend on the extent of the inflammation. Generally all healing processes in region close to the talons are difficult and lengthy.
禽掌炎是猛禽爪子的一种炎症，可由多种（外源性和内源性）因素引起。与其他猛禽物种相比，猎鹰和鹰更容易患这种疾病。患病鸟类会表现出从急性到慢性炎症的各个阶段。禽掌炎在诊断上必须与痘感染和皮肤结核区分开来。通过为鸟类提供设计合理的栖木、正确的饮食和适当的护理，在很大程度上可以预防炎症。手术治疗是唯一有希望的疗法，不过成功的几率取决于炎症的程度。一般来说，爪子附近区域的所有愈合过程都很困难且漫长。
