Thanks for reaching out about Reggie and including photos. These could be feather cysts, which are more prominent in certain breeds of canaries. These are like in-grown hairs. These lesions can become infected and cause worse conditions. Typically the feather debris needs to be removed from the abnormal feather follicle and the germinal tissue of the follicle removed to prevent recurrence. Good luck.
