Hello.
I have a cockatiel 3.5 months old.
And I just noticed something strange at his wings. His bones are going a bit out. When I touch him there he does not hurt ore something. He feel no pain there.

Here is a picture of his wings:



Should i get my Cockatiel to the vet?
Also, he have this on his both wings.

Kinda hard to tell from the photo, but to me that just looks like his elbows :)

If you keep an eye on it when he moves his wing, does it get covered up by feathers, and move into the shape of his wing?

Thank you, you are right.

One day after this, he died ;(

We woke up and found him dead for no reason. I had already fed him. There was nothing wrong. He just died for no reason :((((

Btw now I got a new yellow albino cockatiel.

I'm so sorry for your sudden loss. Being there was a lump could it have been a tumor?

If not, are you going to take him for a necropsy? It would be good to find out what exactly happened wether an incident or a disease. If it is a disease it could cause a potential problem for your new bird if it's spreadable (airborn or actual contact with feces and such).

Oh no! I'm very sorry for your loss :(

Birds never die for 'no reason', EAI is right - it would be a good idea to take him to a vet to find out exactly what went wrong.
