How do birds chew their food?

2 Answers

Without teeth, a bird cannot chew its food down to bits in its mouth like humans do. 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.

They don’t chew their food it is stored in their gullet before being digested
