Dr. Rob, My zebra finches have yellow nodules (bumps) on their necks. Can you tell me what they are and if they need treatment? Follow up from Katie - I went ahead and took one into an avian vet - it was the crop! I felt embarrassed but more so relieved. The vet also tested for general disease and said the finch was in good health. Although I just posted a new question about feather loss... Thanks Katie
