Rosie's crop always seem to be more on one side than the other after she eats, I always thought crops were dead center. When she has really stuffed herself it seems to be a little more center. I can't seem to find much information of the exact placement of crops, anyone know?

This is just curiosity, I really want to know if their crop is off to the side or dead center lol

Here the crop is sticking out so much more on one side than the other

Copper, a bird's crop is similar to our stomachs in the respect that it is generally in one place, but can br a bit offset (move slightly).....

Crops are viable like who stated similar to our stomachs that can shift and move with our movements so she probably moved and the crop did the movement to and went apprioatly with her posture so she could keep up the digestion process:)
