Please help identify growth on Female eccie,

Hi
My 3 year old Eclectus has developed a growth near it's beak.
It looks like a skin tag but grew this size in less than a week.
She is currently sitting on 2 eggs about 10 days old, so I can’t take her to the vet without stressing her, or risking damage to myself as she is fiercely defending her nest. Any helpful advice much appreciated

Poor girl! If you can't get her to the vet, perhaps call them and send them the pictures at least? There's so many possibilities from very minor, to really serious. My first thought, maybe an infected follicle? As a stage 3 melanoma survivor, I don't mess around with skin things. No, skin cancer doesn't grow that fast, so I'm not suggesting that. Please get her checked out though, one way or another. Keep us posted.

Yes, definitely get the poor darling checked out by a certified avian vet. Hope everything turns out ok!

As a breeder, you do have an Avian Professional, correct?

As stated above, contact your Avian Professional and provide the photos. Your Avian Professional will likely have a good idea as to what it is.
