I would be worried. Take him to the vet now, as it will still be in his crop.
The vet should be able to extract it with out too much discomfort. If you leave it there it could cause an obstruction or poison his tiny system with what ever glues or metals etc have been used on it.

The same thing that would happen to you if you swallowed a tack or nail. DUH! Take it to the vet!

I would be very worried about the type of metal in the stud. If it is sterling probably not too much to worry about for poisoning. However you would have to worry about it traveling through the digestive tract and causing blockage. If it was a plated base metal or had a magnet imbedded I would be very worried. In fact if it was my bird I would have already called the vet and asked advice. Are you absolutely sure it was swallowed? Your best bet is to call the vet or the emergency clinic and ask advice. You have 2 serious possibilities here—-metal poisoning (can be very serious or even fatal) or blockage.
