Hi
this might sound like a really stupid question, but do birds get pimples?
my cockatiel (yeah i know not an IRN but thought you guys might know) has a little pink bump between her eyelid and the par where her feathers start again. like the baldish space around her eye that isnt her eyelid.
it looks to me like a zit thats just started to grow but i didnt know that birds could get zits!

I dont believe they do get pimples. I'd get this checked out by an avian vet asap. Any growth is worth checking out.

Thanks for that
turns out it was just a scratch that had become a little infected. its all healed up now with some cream the vet gave me.

you were 100% right - birds do NOT get pimples
