I doubt this is an emergency, but what would make TD suddenly yawn like a million times in a row?

I've seen Pikachu and Tweety do this a few times. Especially after eating

When Murphy my budgie was doing open and close beak often i took him to the vet. He had some yeast in crop. Vet cured him with meds.

Like the others said, it's probably just him adjusting his crop. The first time I saw Chirp do it I was like 99% sure he was dying. But it turns out it's just a thing birds do!

My tiels do this all the time, especially after preening. I imagine if it’s constant or excessive it could be an infection like @Lady Jane mentioned.

Thanks everyone! I knew about crop adjusting, and I have seen TD do this occasionally. Today it was just over and over again. About 30x. I mean, how many should it take to adjust your crop? Especially if you are only 80.5 grams? How big could your crop be? Sheez. Just something else for Mommy to worry about! @Catherine89 I think I could possibly beat everyone for the award for biggest worry wart!
