Is a soft bump normal if my baby cockatiel's crop won't empty?

Question

Hi, I have a 2 week old cockatiel and he seems fine. I'm just worried about one thing. His crop won't fully empty and theres always a little bump even after 11 hours of not feeding. The bump is not hard or doughy. It's soft when you touch it. Sometimes I can see muscle contractions. Best of wishes. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered | 15 days old

Odo is gorgeous!! I am not overly concerned about this as there is a bit of spare tissue to allow the crop to distend so I think all this is is the extra tissue lying when the crop is empty. As long as it is not getting impacted with fluid or food and Odo s in good form I wouldn't worry about it.
