Birds swallow food and store it in their crop if necessary!. Then the food passes into their glandular stomach, also called the proventriculus, which is also sometimes referred to as the true stomach!. This is the secretory part of the stomach!. Then the food passes into the ventriculus (also known as the muscular stomach or gizzard)!. The gizzard can grind the food with stones that have been swallowed and pass it back to the true stomach and vice versa!. Bird gizzards are lined with a tough layer made of the protein keratin, to protect the muscles in the gizzard!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Gizzards are secondary stomachs used by birds to grind their food before digestion!. Because birds don't have teeth, they must fill their gizzards with small stones to achieve the same goal!. Gizzards contain a very tough inner membrane, surrounded by a muscular pouch which provides the grinding action!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
