Unfortunately, that picture is extremely blurry, so it is hard to tell what you are describing. If Tory seems otherwise normal and healthy, you can try to keep an eye on the lump and see if it changes. If it's growing rapidly or bothersome, it may indicate a growth or even abscess (infection under the skin) that requires veterinary care to treat. If you are seeing any visible wounds or debris from the site, you can use a warm washcloth to clear it away and try to keep the area clean. If she is being picked on by your other bird at all, moving her to a separate cage with easy access to food and water can help ensure she isn't more stressed and that a wound doesn't open in the affected area. If you are having trouble getting to the vet, you might want to look into a house-call service or mobile vet clinic that can come to you. It may be easier for them to get to your house where they can examine Tory in a lower-stress environment. If you do need to take her to the vet, putting her in a travel carrier with a cover over the top, such as a towel or sheet, to make it nice and dark and cool can help decrease stress when travelling, and make the trip to the vet a lot easier for the both of you.
