Swipe for pictures of the lump. This is max, he’s about 2 or 3 and he has a soft, moveable lump on his belly as pictured. I just noticed this today after having him for. A couple of months now. I looked up similar instances of people saying it could be an umbilical hernia and if so, would it be a cause for concern at all?? He doesn’t seem to be in pain when I touch it at all, I’ll definitely keep an eye on it to see if it grows or not. Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone, I’m here as a last resort before consulting with an avian vet because one of my Quaker’s (coti) beaks is very overgrown and it has these odd markings on it. My other 2 Quaker’s which are in the same cage done seem to have this issue despite never having their beaks trimmed since they seem to keep up with it themselves. I wanted to know if there’s anything abnormal about this growth, if so what could be causing it. We will trim her beak for her but I need to know if this could be an indicator of an underlying issue first. Thank you all, I’m very worried about her.
