(Pigeons and dove adults produce a food for their young called crop milk in the crop.) Birds all have two parts to their stomach. The first is called the proventriculus or glandular stomach, where digestive enzymes are secreted to begin the process of digestion. This part of the stomach is very much like our stomach.
