Why does my budgie have a bloody lump on its tail near a dead feather?

Question

Hi, my Budgie of 8 years has a strange looking bulb filled with blood on the base of his tail. Connected to this blood looking bulb is what looks to be a dead feather, it's grey and black and shriveled. I don't know what this is? Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male | unneutered

Thanks for reaching out about Budgie and including photos. This could be a feather cyst, other inflammation or infection. A veterinary visit should be scheduled to assess. Monitor Budgie for any indication of discomfort or pain, monitor appetite. Try applying a warm compress to see if can shrink mass. Good luck.
