is it just under the bottom eyelid ,. one of mine has this but they are aslo sneezing an wheezing and have gone back on antibiotics to clear that up an the vet said that the lump is to do with the possible mycoplasma they have and that the drugs will clear up the lump as well.

but someone else who knows more will be on shortly to give more advice . your lump maybe something completely different .

The only way you can properly treat her is to get her to a vet so they can prescribe anti-biotics leared. :)

Sounds like mycoplasma.  Your vet can prescribe antibiotics for all your birds to make sure none of the others have it !
