A birds has a high metabolism due to its high energy level. Birds have a unique digestive system, they have a fore-proventriculus stomach and a crop and gizzard. the crop is ultimatley a storage area for food located near the end of the birds throat. The crop will hold food and then release it when the bird needs it, if the crop is full and the birds eats the bird will regurgitate what it just ate. The gizzard in a bird is an area where birds store gravel, small pebbles, or most common for pet birds grit. Grit is like fine sand the bird will swallow and then will store in its gizzard to help aid the bird in grinding up its food into smaller particles for easier digestion. Birds will only eat when there is light and you should supply a teaspoon of grit on the bottom of their cage for them once a week. Abird does have a small and large intestine but does not have a bladder. Birds do have a liver and kidneys and something called a syrinx, which is a fleshy organ that takes air in and out which allows birds to speak, it is essentially the birds voice box. Birds will defecate 25-50 times a day or once every ten mins. Since birds do not have many t aste buds the appearance of their food is more important to the bird than the taste. hope that information helped some.
