Growth

[laurab]

Hi all

I had the unfortunate task of taking one of my young Cape Sparrows to the vet today.

Over a very short period of time a growth appeared on its head just above its beak and was starting to head for the nasal passages.

Due to the size and position of the growth the vet and I decided it was kinder to have the bird put to sleep.

My other sparrows do not have any growths so I am hoping that this is just one of those things.

hi laura
what a shame .may have been a distortion of the beak as i have had zebs in the past like that...but as you say if its going near the nasal passages there is not a lot you can do
