 I own three birds; a lovebird, a parakeet, and a Senegal parrot. The 
small lovebird and the parakeet tend to ingest more stones then my 
senegal. The senegal hardly touches the stones. And it is true that the 
small birds tend to get agitatated with no stones ( in fact it is 
recommended that you leave stones all over so they will ingest them or 
otherwise they may go through "crop rot" or something like that.)
