I have posted this under "General", but I think it might get lost there, and I would like people to see it, because I often talked about this little bird.I followed her from the day she came out of the nest. I took photos of her growing up and the growth on her beak getting smaller as she progressed. I saw her today, she is still a lot smaller than the others. She knows me well, as I kept following her around, she is very tame and I can take photos of her from close up. Today I noticed that the growth on her beak has now spread almost to her eye. Not very good I think, and she is very skinny. Here she is:
Look at the lump extending from the beak to the eye: 
Is it a growth or an infection M-L or could it be something like a tick.

It is a growth the bird had from the first day I saw it come out of the nest. I have followed the bird and taken photos and posted most of them here. It started on the beak, then got smaller as the bird grew. I only noticed the lumps two days ago. Hope it is only on the outside.
