I have noticed that very small, the size of a dime or smaller,  
crabapples are eaten by cedar waxwings, robins and mockingbirds.   
Otherwise, larger ones just sit on the tree and dessicate or are  
devoured by wasps and ants.  The following website has some hints  
about crabapple cultivars that birds like.
