I have heard that ill birds have a hard time keeping warm. From some comments I have read, I understand that heating lamps can be used to warm up birds. My parakeet seems to have a tumor, and he is puffy all the time, as if he is always cold. What kind of heating lamp should I use for my parakeet? How many watts should the bulb be? How long should the lamp remain on? How close to the cage should i put the lamp?

You need to stop guessing if your parakeet has a tumor and get your parakeet to the vet for treatment, a heating lamp won’t prevent illness.
Your budgie needs to see a vet. It could just be an ingrown feather that needs treatment.
