Is this normal or should i contact a vet right away

[Dragon58]

hi when i filled ladyhawks food this morning and was standing there watching her she put her claws around one of the bars of the cage and I noticed on the top of one of her claws... theres a bump on it its brown and kind of sticks up and i was able to touch it for a second before she bit me (im so glad shes eating with gusto now even when i was standing right there next to the cage we re getting there slowly put surely lol )and it seems hard....i dont think she had it before but i cant be postive today is the first time she let me get that close without moving away from me they told me at the pet store that shes a baby so is this a normal part of there growing process and her other claws will develop these little bumps too or should i contact the vet...

Getting a new parrot a full vet work up is an excellent idea, even if he/she is in perfect health. It will provide the vet with a base line to compare with, should something actually develop in the future.

And will help calm the nerves of a very nervous new owner!
