Many species of birds will swallow stones. These aid in digestion because they help grind items in their stomachs.

These stones are called gizzard stones or gastroliths and are usually smooth and round from the polishing action in the animal's stomach.

When too smooth to do their required work, they may be passed or regurgitated.
