The stomach-proventriculus in birds serves as a critical digestive organ that plays a role in the initial breakdown of food. The proventriculus, the glandular part of the stomach, secretes digestive enzymes and acids to chemically digest food before it passes into the muscular gizzard. The gizzard mechanically grinds the food, aided by ingested grit, to further facilitate digestion. This two-part system allows birds to efficiently process their diet, which often includes seeds and tough plant material.
