My little cross beak gal suddenly had this swollen cheek and has no other symptoms at the moment. She is eating good but not laying as of late. Any ideas on how to diagnose would be appreciated!
If you look inside her beak, can you see anything there? Does it feel hard, fluid filled, soft and squishy, etc.? She looks to have a bit of cross beak, has it always been that way? It could range from something as simple as an insect bite/sting, a cyst, a tumor, an infection, etc.
