Why does my bird have a grey bump on her eyelid with no discharge?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | 17 years old

My bird has developed a bump on the top of one of her eyelids. There is no discharge coming from it or around her nostrils. It the same color as her eyelid (grey). She seemed to close this eye more the first day, but is able to open it a little more now. What can this be?

It may be local infection, inflammation or a mass (benign or malignant). If It is not bothering Princess, you can choose to monitor it for rapid change or growth. You should see your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian if the bump causes discomfort or obstructs vision. A physical exam and biopsy may provide a diagnosis.
