My budgie has a huge squishy lump now, it was initially the size of a pea few months ago and vet said not to worry too much but it has gone much bigger. is this anything serious?   |

I have never seen a lump like this before.
Have you been to a vet?

Only a vet could tell if it is anything serious. But I would definitely pay them another visit ASAP.

I would definitely get your boy to an avian vet if at all possible. Even if it isn’t something to worry about, the size of it now may interfere with the use of his wings, it may start to become annoying to him causing him to pick at it in which case you end up with a wound. That may happen anyway, as it does look like it needs to be drained; it looks to be filled with pus.

It's an odd colour too, I have seen feather cysts before and they are more yellowy than this.
As others have said, please take him to an avian vet. He needs a specialist.
