Rocks collect in a bird’s gizzard and they are used to mill food into smaller pieces for more thorough extraction of nutrients.

The particles that are unable to be ground in the gizzard, will not be able to pass into the small intestines, so are retained in the gizzard

[Hamza]

his breaking and mixing function of the gizzard is enhanced by the presence of insoluble grit such as stones

[Bello Bashir]

The gizzard is why chickens do not need teeth. It is a muscular part of the stomach and uses grit (small, hard particles of pebbles or sand) to grind grains and fiber into smaller, more digestible, particles. From the gizzard, food passes into the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed.

[Bello Bashir]

These stones are called gizzard stones or gastroliths and usually become round and smooth from the polishing action in the animal’s stomach.

Gizzard stones<div>A bird swallows small bits of gravel that act as ‘teeth’ in the gizzard, breaking down hard food such as seeds and thus helping digestion</div>
