They poo it out I am not kidding.

Added by Dr. Misha:

uh, yeah, pooing comes After Digestion, which, technically, is the breaking down of food into nutrients which are capable of being absorbed by the body. Without exception, in all birds digestion starts starts in the crop, an organ in the throat. Since birds have no teeth (again, without exception), they need a way to break down food into particles that are small enough to pass through the alimentary canal. Most birds eat small stones or bits of gravel, which they store in their crop. When food is swallowed, it first enters the crop, where it is mixed with the gravel in order to be broken down, the same way our teeth pulverize food, before travelling through the rest of the GI (gastro-intestinal) system.
