Please help 20201203_144524.jpg 20201203_144524.jpg 20201203_144518.jpg . I found this beautiful Pigeon in my balcony who is unable to fly. I found a swelling on the shoulder/wing joint and it is Soft. Sometimes her affected wing shivers/trembles. I checked for other body issues and found none. Eyes are good, droppings are firm (normal), walks normally, and she is calm. I am feeding her pearl-millets and black-mustard seeds. Any help from this forum for this bird is deeply appreciated. Thanks.

It looks like an air-sac. Air-sacs can rupture on several places on a bird. They are usually caused by too much pressure on the area, injury, etc. It's possile this bird got hit by a predator bird, i.e. a hawk. If you have a small dog crate place the bird in it, with food & water. Place it in a dark quiet location & just let it rest. It may go away in a few days. Some info: Air Sac Rupture in Birds - Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment, Recovery, Management, Cost

Thanks for the reply. But this bird is with me for 10 days. And this swelling has not reduced. And I am pretty sure that it's not air sac.

Could be a tumor or maybe swelling from a infection? Could be a parasite in there? Dosent look close enough to the bone to be a fracutre or break swelling..its soft... is it hot? If its hot,,, infection...do you have a local rehabilitation or vet you can take him/ her to?

It's soft and warm like rest of the body. There's a vet but not avian specialist. I tried contacting some lofters from different states and they said about the salmonella and suggested Ciprofloxacin.
