The lining of the gizzard should be tough and tightly adherent to the mucosa. |
|
Lead pellets are mistaken for food items or grit, which is retained in a waterbird's gizzard to facilitate the mechanical breakdown of food. |
|
The acidic stomach fluids, combined with the grinding of the gizzard, cause the pellets to dissolve. |

|
The head and neck with skin, feet, gizzard, heart and liver are removed. |
|
The stomach is typically divided into a glandular proventriculus and a muscular gizzard, the latter lying near the centre of gravity of the bird and compensating for the lack of teeth and the generally weak jaw musculature. |
|
The proventriculus, gizzard, pancreas, duodenum, jejunum and ileum were removed and weighed. |
|
Some of these layers, however, proved to be equally toxic, and moreover, they were easily removed by the grinding action and acidity of the waterbird gizzard. |
|

|
With their very muscular stomachs, gizzard stones function like a mill and break needles and buds into small particles. |

|
Waterbirds deliberately pick the pellets from the bottom and ingest them, mistaking them for food items or grit, which is retained in the gizzard to facilitate the grinding of food. |
|
When found in association with fossils, gizzard stones are called gastroliths. |
