hello and welcome to Pigeon Basics , if you are sure its just a lump of maize ,could try tweezers ? :emoticon-0138-thinking: although in all honesty , ive never come across this ? I would be very tempted to treat for canker regardless .always hard to try and help without seeing & handling the bird . :emoticon-0138-thinking:

Sorry, I'm a bit mixed up with what you mean, and wondered if you tell me a bit more about the lump in the birds throat?

 

You said you can't see anything - is that when you look down the inside of bird's throat through the open beak? So is this a lump you can feel under the birds feathers & skin further down the birds neck, but which you cannot see?

 

Is the bird able to eat OK or does this lump affect that?

Hi looking into birds throat it looks clear no signs of any thing...when feeling under the beak can feel a lump in top part of throat,,,feels like corn stuck....i parted the feathers and it looks like a lump of maze,,,as you can just see it through skin...the bird dont seem to be able to eat...but can still drink ..it did try to eat but shakes it head and throws corn out...well ive go the canker treatment going at the moment...hopeing it is that... :)

If it starts to lose to much weight soak some pellets in warm water and syringe the mush down its throat.

Hi ...yes will try that have been sorting just the smallest seed out suppose i could soak them then crush seeds ..then do like you say :)

 

soak the seed/grain in a vacuum flask (with warm to hot water) overnight should do the trick.
