All of my finches(10)are offspring of one pair but have not interbred. The lump is associated w/ some feather loss but not permanant.This affects both male and female birds, but the parents are healthy, singing and laying another brood of 8 eggs.I have a finch care book but it mentions nothing. I tried google, but couldn't find anything either.The patch of skin is bright yellow and bulbous, but hidden under the feathers. I can see it clearly when the birds preen themselves.Besides this skin the birds have no signs of illness. I want to figure this out quickly, in case it is harmful or contagious to my other birds. Please help!

Does the lump ever go away??? If it does you may be looking at their crops - if it doesn't, take em to a good Avian vet
