Please! Need help with a baby budgie!

[JadeRose]

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this network. I currently am hand-raising seven baby budgies, all of whom are doing perfectly fine except for one. His crop has filled up with air overnight, and I have no idea what to do. We've been massaging the crop and applying heat, and also feeding water, and nothing will work. His crop is so full of air it looks like it might burst! If anyone else has encountered this problem in the past, I would greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks!

Try equal parts of pineapple juice and applesauce. this generally gets the crop moving again. you can massage the crop very gently after doing this and break up any hard parts of undigested food.
Good Luck!
