Default Full Crop Size?

When an adult Macaw has a full crop does anyone know what the approximate size would be?

I have no idea! Good question. My ducks outside really get theirs full with wheat bread. I guess Ruby never gets that full. I will have to think on this! ha!

I have no idea but a baby can surely fit a lot in there. I have discovered that my baby does not stop eating when the crop is full. I carefully watch and stop feeding at 80ml.

Adult suns can fill up about 15-20ml (babies get 20ml) can't be seen in most of them but you can feel it. Maybe macaw is the same sort of percentage.

Maybe need a before and after weight.
