Hi, CLS and pie, welcome to the forum. i don't know what exactly you mean by 'research' but an overgrown beak and fatty tumors ALWAYS mean advanced liver malfunction. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take him to the vet and ask for a bile acids test. Pionus feed on flowers, buds, fruits, leaves and green seeds (very low protein and very high moisture 85-95%), pellets and dry seeds (high protein and very low moisture max of 10%) damage their liver and kidneys. Please do a more in-depth research using only scientific sources for his diet but take him to the vet because, if you don't, he will die before his time.
