What does a tumor look like?

Fatty tumors

A fatty tumor is a mass on any area of the bird , generally the rump or chest. Its a soft mass.


Cancerious tumors
The worst word in history - cancer.
A cancerious tumor is more soild then a fatty tumor , brusies easily and the life of the bird is often taken. These tumors will continue to grow.
