hi would someone please be able to tell me if that small white lump at the back of my budgie looks normal, she is female and only nearly 1..
Shes been tucking herself in a bit more than normal lately and wont come to me as much as what she would,
Ive gone to the pet shop and they suggested stop pick spray or lice and mite spray, i will try both but maybe someone may know what it could be?! Possibly!!!!

Thankyou

Elisha & Buddy :)

Rest assured that is a preening gland. It has oils that help keep their feathers in good condition.

Don't spray anything without a correct diagnosis.

That is nothing wrong with that. Better to worry to much then not at all. :)
