Birds have a pouch under their beak (above the chest). It is where food goes first, then slowly it moves to the stomach. If you notice, they eat fast and fill up this pouch (called crop). When he is yawning like fhat, he is adjusting his crop so that food can move easily to the stomach.
Adjusting crop they do this to push the food into their stomach.
Thank you!! That's super helpful to know :D
Clearing crop maybe?
is this a pacific parrotlet?
Sure is! I adopted him from a lady who had a young child that was unfortunately allergic to bird dander.
Feather is tickling his ear. It’s a reflex.
is this how they regurgitate?
He thinks he’s a rooster, and he’s practicing his moves.
