PLEASE HELP ME!
Take your bird to the vet.
Feeding your bird expensive food doesn't= that it is healthy.
If you can't afford the vet, you can't afford the pet.
Just because you spend the money to give your bird a well brought-up diet does not mean he will never get sick or develop an illness.. You don't right to be heard where the tumor is or what it looks like. I can tell you this, you obligation to take him to a vet. (it does NOT have to be an avian vet) Many vets will work out a expense plan with you and let you pay over time. Tumors and lumps don't only go away on their own, and all should be looked at by a vet. Before your bird starts to suffer, filch him to a vet. Please read my profile.
Answers: Budgies are highly susceptible to tumors unfortunately. Budgie tumors are said to generally occur between the ages of four and six years, so you've obviously done a reasonable errand for his captivity. Like any tumor they can't be fixed from home and a vet will need to surgically remove it. Be sure to see an avian vet, or at most minuscule an exotic vet who has experience with birds, for this as standard vets aren't commonly equipped to deal with a bird.
Does your bird own a tumor or a ingrown feather? A ingrown feather will look just close to a tumor. A ingrown feather will make a big knot. It will be packed with a cheesy looking substance. If you pierce the bump you will be able to pick this stuff out. You will other find a feather in the center of this mass. It has be my personal experience that even if you pick the ingrown feather out that it will just re-develop. That spine doesn't ever want to grow in right.
Parakeets are know for developing these ingrown feather cyst. Gloucester canaries are worse about it than parakeets. With them 7 out of 10 will develop these ingrown plume cyst.
only surgery will remove the tumor, and usually the bird will not survive the operation, therefore verbs to give the bird quality seeds, greens , etc.. sorry he will not live that long. If the bird is singing and drinking, normal stools dont worry to much. if he be in pain he would be puffed up and not eating.
it could actually be in a great deal of pain so if you cant afford the vet youdon'tt deserve it or ask the vet how much it would cost and if you cant afford
it impart it to some one who can
