I have no clue but is it possible it is a tick? I have never seen one that colour but the shape looks about right.

Looks like a feather cyst to me too. Inside there's just a feather but it can get infected, so I recommend a vet visit. There should be no need for sedation, it'll be sorted in minutes.

Not sure what that is but please take your little one to an avian vet.
It is a good that you noticed it.

I hope all is well, but I just have to compliment your photo! My caiques hate my camera and wouldn't allow me to take a photo like that. Your bird must have a lot of trust in you. Going to a vet for this would be a good idea.
