Hello,

I hope someone can help me. I have a 16-year-old female cockatiel, which is in great health. However, I’ve noticed a few months ago a small growth above her right nostril/Beak, it appears to be a lump, I’m concerned since it’s been growing substantially over the past few months. I’m really worried about her. I’ve attached photos below. Should I be visiting a vet?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Best,
Daniel

I would personally take her to a veterinarian, but other members may have ideas about what it could be.

It's probably an abscess. Definitely needs a vet.

Agree with taking her to a vet - make sure the vet is avian or at least works with exotics... way more bird knowledge than your average vet.
