strange yawning behavior

[chris-md]

Does anyone know what this is? Parker does it almost every night. Opens his beak really wide as if yawning, and reaches his neck way up high. He will do this for minutes at a time, like somewhere between yawning and choking/gasping. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Yep he is just adjusting his crop... If it continues I offer Kiwi some water. Completely normal.

Sounds like crop adjustment. I don't see it often, but it is something they do normally.

You nailed it, that's exactly what it looks like. Thank you! I didn't think it was serious because it always stop after a couple minutes, and he's perfectly fine but good to put a name to it.
