Haven’t been able to find anything helpful and don’t have an avian vet. My female pigeon has a lump or growth of some kind between her legs. Yellowish and soft. She’s getting lethargic and not eating much now. Any info or help would be appreciated.

There’s no chance this is an egg glued to her butt right, definitely some tissue? I’ve had hens sit in cracked eggs and end up like this until helped.

I’m sorry you’re having trouble finding an avian vet. This looks to me like a lipoma, but I have seen similar only in cage birds and not a pigeon.
The treatment is usually to reduce fat in the diet or a simple surgery since this should be fatty tissue if I am correct. What’s the diet like?

She hasn’t been laying for a while now. They eat a blend of pigeon and dove food and safflower seeds as an occasional treat.
