This evening no less. She has what I believe to be a feather cyst on the left wing. She decided to take a trip into the conservatory and ended up on the floor. When I collected her on my finger I noticed a dark red swelling under her feathers near the lead edge of her wing. As I am far from confident nor even sure what it is I looked up a Vets surgery and found one not far from me. They do not specialise in budgies but was assured they would be able to diagnose and treat as necessary. As this is a first for me I have no idea what to expect. I might just forget my credit card accidentally. So off to the vets we go for 18:20.

Just looking at your pictures, Sam, in another post tells me it probably is a feather cyst.

Sorry to hear this OP. I'm sure the vet will be able to sort it out for Edward. What is it with these birds at the moment, one after the other they seem to be getting ill. Good luck, will be thinking of you both and no doubt you will keep us up-dated (please).

I surely will keep everyone updated. I suppose I should expect something now that she is about 8 years old. I just hope there is nothing else wrong that I haven't noticed. She seems happy in herself eats well and drinks well. We shall see.

Good luck Edward and OP, you'll be fine. A few quid lighter, but fine.

Good luck Edward and OP, you'll be fine. A few quid lighter, but fine. That's what worries me as much as Edward's health.
