If you do a search for air in crop you should find some help. Link to comment

You'll find there's nothing you can do aside wait and hope the problem fixes itself (although their is a vet option which can be quite costly and not a definate fix) Whatever you do DO NOT try to forcefully remove this air or pop it, you'll only do damage as it's not actually in his crop!

I can't remember the name of it. something like sourcrop is ringing a bell? I just remember it from a baby budgie we had once that my mum had to syringe feed, and she thought that the baby's crop was full of air because she was syringe feeding it wrongly, but then an avian vet told her it was actually an infection.. and then the baby died :what: Sorry to give you a fright. I've never seen air in the crop like that apart from that time though, and I was quite young when it happened so I don't remember the details of what was wrong with the bird. Hopefully someone else can clarify? Link to comment
