    Birds have gizzards aka crops. They need to eat rocks to be able to break down food. Humans chew food with their teeth. In a bird that step happens in the gizzard. The rocks grind the food so the intestines can absorb nutrients.

    The easiest way to get rocks is to pick them from the side of the road.
