Her diet consist of veggies, seeds and fruit. But I have noticing that she has this ball on her upper chest (right over the line on the breast bone). When I slightly touch it, it feels like it's just fat in there. It's all squishy. She's almost 2 years old... I don't know if this is normal . 1430870071609-494110937.jpg 1430870071609-494110937.jpg

I have quakers but I don't have any with unusual "lumps." I also don't feed much in the way of seed. Normal diet is pellets, fruits, veggies, and cooked grains/legumes. Seed is limited to a good quality budgie mix about 1 T per pair every couple of days. Have you thought about taking her to a vet to have her checked out?

I would take her to a Vet-her breast bone shows that she is kinda thin and her feathering is worrisome. Please let Us know what You find out:hug8:
