Gizzard

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distictiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

The gizzard is the mechanical “stomach” of a bird. It is located just after the true or glandular stomach in the gastrointestinal system. Since poultry have no teeth and swallow feed whole, this muscular organ, sometimes called “hen’s teeth,” mechanically grinds and mixes the bird’s feed.
