My daughters pet budgerigar has a lumpy growth in the area between where the beak ends and the head feathers begins. The lumpy growth is a whitish to light brown colour. There is also some white build up on the beak of the bird. Does anyone know what this may be and if or how it can be cured. Cheers.

Is there a market out there for cuttle fish backbone? I have approx 5kg of it. Picked up off the beach washed in freshwater then left in the sun to dry. Varied sizes and pieces from 100mm long to 500mm long. I live in the Illawarra.
