Answer:

Here u go

Explanation:

From the bill, food moves down a tube called the esophagus and into the crop, which stores excess food so the bird can digest it slowly. ... The second part of the stomach, the gizzard, grinds the food into smaller pieces, often with the aid of grit such as sand or small stones the bird has swallowed earlier.

Without teeth, a bird cannot chew its food down to bits in its mouth like humans do. As detailed in the textbook Ornithology by Frank B. Gill, birds must instead rely on the muscular stomach-like pouch called the gizzard to crush down their food. Many species swallow stones and grit to aid in digestion.
