Clean the legs with warm soapy water using a spong or toothbrush (if needed) scrub the shanks and toes gently with a soft toothbrush then move on to the legs using only the sponge, dry well. Next using baby oil on the legs coat the legs well to keep the scales supple and help remove build up of crust.

the message from Loo Loo here is
Soak and scrub, soak and scrub folks
But be aware you need to make sure no oil gets on the feathers if you are cleaning for exhibition

Soaking and scrubbing = the dirt under the scales needs to be softened up to be removed easily
a firm medium toothbrush helps = sideways motion from the lower edge so the bristles get in under the scales and lots of perseverance

A nail brush can be used on the feet

So am I best to soak the legs in warm soapy water for a couple of minutes before trying to remove the dirt?

soak them in warm soapy water if possible, to clean the dirt out from under the scales use a tooth pick or a small nail in a piece of dowel works wel,l after washing and drying the birds legs rub them down with a mositurising cream helps keep the legs in good condition.

No need just use a mild soap that will do the job
