The digestive tract of granivorous birds operates similarly to human digestion for the final stages of processing food.

“then it goes down into what they call a gizzard if anybody's taken apart a chicken or a turkey you've seen these things and they're two muscular discs and these carnivorous birds eat gravel on purpose they eat rocks and those rocks sit in between these discs and literally they're stone grinding these grains that have already been through that chemical transformation in the crop”

“the when a a grenivorous bird eats a grain they it goes into their mouth and it goes into what we call a crop and that crop is an enlarged pouch that where the grains it's a warm moist environment where the grains will sit sometimes for 14 or 16 hours and during that time incredible transformations happen even though it's just sitting there it's sitting in a warm moist environment which is exactly where a seed wants to be to support new life think about when you plant seeds into the ground right so it it soaks it ferments and sometimes even sprouts and that's the power that begins the um the detoxification of these seeds and also the breakdown of these seeds and getting them ready for consumption”
