You really should find an AV and take your bird in for a check up. If he lived on all sunflower seeds or even a lot of sunflower seeds then there is a big chance he is not as healthy as he should/could be. You will be best to start changing his diet now for one that is beneficial to a long healthy life for your bird.......what a lot of people choose to feed birds is not compatible with the birds actual needs. Sunflower seeds are very fattening so often cause liver problems and other health issues. Have you had a look through the cockatoo section of the forum? There will be lots of diet information and this is very very important stuff for your bird. Once the vet has checked him over they may be able to tell you what the lump is then you may be able to medicate and also change his diet to help him out with his health issues. I am guessing he will have health issues as you say he was on lots of sunflower seed.
If he has a lump anywhere that is serious stuff that really should be seen by a bird specialist. He may be in pain and birds do not let us see their pain, discomfort or ill health.......when they finally let us see it it is usually too late to help them in any way at all.
