Someone please HELP!!!!!!!

Lack of fluids could be the reason she still has food in her crop, so if it's just grain and crumbles, not grass, fluids should be enough to stuff moving again. One can assume that all sick birds are dehydrated, so tubing Corid water and keeping her warm are what I would do first.

I don't want to freak you out, but food still in the crop can also mean that the dying process has started.

Thank you Kathy. Yeah I know she isn't in a good place right now, but hopefully the tube feeding will help. I finally got a tube a syringe so I am just waiting for my husband to get home to help me. I have no idea how this started....she was fine a couple of days ago. I have your numbew, so thank you so much for helping me. She had food in her crop last night I just didn't realize that she was impacted. I have no tall grass in my backyard and I'm just not sure what happened. Hopefully she pulls through.

Ok Kathy, my husband us on his way home to help me. I opened her mouth so I could get familiar with the anatomy. I could not visualize the opening of the tranchea, do should I just stick the tube down there and hope. And she's going to be fighting us.

See where the syringe is pointing? That's where the tube needs to go.

If you call me I can give you tips much easier over the phone than I can here. Not that long ago two teenagers called me and I talked them through it, so I'm sure you'll be able to do it.

The hole at the back of the tongue is the trachea - Nothing should ever go in there!

Ohhhh. That seems easy enough. I will just angle it to the right. Ok. Whew....I got this. Lol
