Thanks for reaching out about Phoebe. First, place the phone where the bird can not get to it. Ingested glass can be very serious, causing lacerations or perforation in the intestinal tract. If you have concerns, blood in stool, lethargic or ill, a veterinary visit is highly recommended.
Good luck.
