I would go to the vet and see what they think. Poor guy I hope he is ok, I am wishing him and you all the luck, let me know how it turns out. It is really baffling.

I am going theu a frustratiing case too with one of mine and sour or impacted crop. Have tried all I know ( have never dealt with either) and I have only reduced the swelling alittle.. Dont know what else to do....

cant u get a birdy bra for that before i go to a vet i no a man who has raised birds all his life and has raised many different birds hes even raised baby tocans and has a harris hawk and nos a bunch of stuff when it comes to healing the wounded i dont no if any of my vets do birds its worth a try though he said that the feather legged varieties can get ingrown feathers and it will look like a swollen lump i hope he can make it through though its better off their then near some vital organ though

I dont know about the bird bra. I just want to heal him. I am running out of options and cant find anyone to give me advice

I hope it is just an ingrown feather. It is nice to have someone knowledgable to help when in need. hopefully you can go see him soon and get the guy back on track soon.
