My old budgie's facial wound won't heal. Is it a tumor or growth?

Question

One of my budgies has a saw on one side of his face which will not heal. he rubs it on the perches and it is turning into a large wound. He is otherwise very healthy . At the site of the wound now there seems to be a growth developing. I have a large aviary of 30 budgies, all very clean and healthy. This budgie is quite old, but is healthy and strong and flies well. Please advise, Louise. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

Hi and thank you for your question. It's not possible to say anything for sure based on this picture, but there is a possibility that this is a tumor rather than a wound. It needs to be biopsied. Regards
