Have a cockatiel about 5 years old, has black bubble like growth on the edges of his beak (both sides). They grow to about 3mm then drop off...any ideas?? tks Charlie Australia
This could be a virus such as papillomavirus, but other differentials should also be considered. It is something that needs to be seen by an avian veterinarian for a diagnosis.

Cockatiel beak tumors by: Linda
You need to get your bird to an Avian Vet like a long time ago. This could be any number of things like tumors, parasites, fungal growths, and that is just for starts. If this is a parasite, it is eating your bird's beak. If it is fungal growth, then your bird needs to be treated for either one. If it is tumors, same thing.
Please make an appointment with an Avian Vet in your area to have this scraped and looked at, so vet can determine what it is and come up with a treatment plan before your bird either dies or loses his beak.
