    I don't think it's a hugely common condition since birds can pass and even digest many of the non-food materials they may swallow. But it still occurs now and then. I wouldn't be terribly worried as along as Casper is eating and pooping normally... and as long as his crop empties normally each day. But if you ever feel a persistent lump in his crop area then I think it would be wise to take him in for a vet check.
    He wanted to live. He was my Heaven... He's gone!

    So I haven't been able to build it today but it will for sure be built tomorrow along with over 30 toys. The toy building supply list consist of rope, bells, natural craft sticks, beads lots and lots of beads over 3,000 beads, natural coffee filters, alphabet beads which oddly in a bag of 200 beads there was only 1 i but about 10 x's and Q's each cause you know those are used soooo much more than the letter i, plastic straws and 2 toy making kits from the drs foster and smith website each containing 93 peices but it doesn't tell you exactly what they are just that they are a combination of wood, plastic, wicker, paper sticks and bells. So tomorrow will be fun and very busy and pics will be coming either tomorrow night or tuesday morning.

    I also forgot the plastic cups and toilet paper tubes to add to the foraging toys I can make.

    Well the play stand is up with two minor problems 1 I can't find the hooks to screw into the top part so I can hang toys but I can always get more. And 2 I forgot to stabilize the net so it fell a couple times I fixed this by lowering the legs further into the holes I cut out for them. I have spent ALL day working on the play stand and making new toys today I know they're nothing fancy but you work with what you got.

    Here are some pics of Riley enjoying her new play stand and some of the toys I made as well as the "cargo" net I made her despite the evil kittens at my grandmas house trying to destroy everything I made

    And the actual part of the play stand where she can play with her toys.

    Riley apparently loves it. For the first time ever I was able to do the dishes while she stayed put on her play stand. Normally I have to put her back no less than 10 times but today I was able to do a full 2 hours of house work without her flying to me once. So not only does she like it and it was inexpensive to make (around $30 total) but it does exactly what it was intended to do which is keep her occupied while I do what I need to do.
