As u can see in red circles,
it seems that it has something unusual appears in his foot.
Everything is ok, eat well, play well.
And my Lory is not bothered by it.
Is it ok?

He does appear to have some type of growth going on. But, it also appears as if both feet look very swollen and some discoloration to me. I would take him in for a vet check just to be sure. What is his full diet?

Lories need such a complex diet. It is very important to offer fresh fruits and veggies too. Are you going to take him to a vet?
I do not know what lory powder you have available but here is some excellent info:

It is generally recommended to provide lories and lorikeets with a diet lower in iron then 100ppm. Some people feel that this figure is still too high. Here is a list of commonly available US lory foods and their iron contents.

Hi
Did you ever find out what this was? My Musk Lorikeet has the same thing and I am curious to see what you found out.
