Some animals keep sand or even small rocks in their gizzard which help crush up food.

A Gizzard is a special organ found in some animals that helps break apart food.

The Gizzard is like a stomach, but before the actual stomach. The gizzard breaks food down physically, where as the stomach breaks it down chemically.
