    Is This Impacted Crop? *UPDATE* She's Gone.....

    Quote: I'm thinking maybe your birds crop is full is well becasue she is eating??? It is normal for the crop to fill up- if you think it is impacted take away the food overnight and if her crop is still full in the am then you might have a problem.....
