My parakeet (Sweetie) has a lump on her back by her tail. Is she trying to pass an egg?

Is she trying to pass an egg or is there something else wrong, or nothing at all. She is with two other parakeets one being a male and the other a female. I took the other female out and put her in another cage that I have because the nesting box is in the main cage. I saw her going in and out of it this morning, mostly coming out when the other female would peak in which is why I separated her. I read that putting her in a humid place would be nice, which would mean I need to switch her with the other female. Although, I don’t know what a bird looks like that is trying to pass an egg if it is that. Any suggestions would be sooo helpful. Thank you very much.

My Lovebird has a huge lump over its eye- do you no what it could be?

Hello, My lovebirds eye has turned into a HUGE lump. Its almost like a second head. I have pictures if anyone wants to look at it.
About 6 months ago it was just a small lump. I hardly ever see the bird as it hides away in her nesting box but when i fed them today she came out and OMG is it huge. She is quite old i think 10+ years. She was given to me a few years ago from a friend who didnt want to take them to there new house. There are 6 birds in the cage.
I dont really want to take it to the vet but at the same time i dont want it to be suffering. Do you think its a cancer?
If anyone wants to see a picture i am happy to email you the picture. (dont no how to post it on here)
