My cockatiel has a bleeding lump on its foot. What should I do now?

Question

Last night I was suddenly awestruck to see blood in my cockatiel's nest, after observing carefully I found that that it has a little lump on one of its finger near the nail, as soon as it bled from the lump, my bird tightly kept her affected leg inside her down feather, eventually the bleeding has stopped, my bird had a sound sleep last night, had a little food in morning but it is troubled about its finger because sometimes it is standing on one foot and it is frequently licking the lump.

I would have your vet evaluate the lump to see what it is such as a cyst, abscess, tumor, etc, especially if it is bleeding and bothersome to Rakhi. Until you can get to your vet, keeping the bump as clean and dry as possible and fashioning an Elizabethan (cone) collar for her (Google has tutorials on how to make bird-sized ones) can help.
