Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | 5 years and 1 month old | 2 lbs
My 5 years old ringnecked parakeet is healthy and eats well but it drinks a lot of water. He has feather plucking habits since he was 2 years old. But now he has stopped plucking. I found something like squeezed blister between its beaks and that is becoming bigger day by day. He sticking out of it with his tongue and sometimes trying to remove it with his claws. I don't know what it is... and is it dangerous for him. What should i do for him? P.S.My country doesn't have vet for birds.

Have your veterinarian examine KuKu. A fine needle aspirate of the growth can be done to collect a sample for pathology. Your vet can consult with an avian specialist by phone if necessary. Since the mass is growing, it should be addressed before it begins to interfere with eating and drinking.
