Gizzard shad
Someone mare adept than I should initiate an article on "Gizzard shad" An excellent article(but overlong) "description of the gizzard shad", exists as a reference (non copyright, published by the Maryland dept of fisheries) in the article "gizzard". Don 16:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Animals with gizzards

 * The Tamandua page says that tamanduas have gizzards, and that thing's a mammal, not a bird, reptile, dinosaur, fish or invertebrate. So ... who's right?

If all birds have gizzards, why are emus, turkeys and chickens specifically mentioned?

I agree with you here. I think those particular birds were mentioned due to their popular use in cuisine in the context of the article. I'll have a quick stab at reworking it. Elcaballooscuro (talk) 06:40, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I've reworked the sentence, but in the process decided that the list maybe incomplete or not needed at all. I'll leave that one on the table for wikipedians to decide. Elcaballooscuro (talk) 06:47, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Trivia
Shan't we consider removing the section "Generic meaning"? This is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. Also, "Trivia" is discouraged by Wikipedia. 69.196.140.226 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 05:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I have taken the liberty of removing the trivia section as it has "A regular character on the The Kenny Everett Television Show was named Gizzard Puke," does not have any relation to this article. Salvadoradi (talk) 00:18, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

"Eating Gizzards" Incongruous Statement
The article states: "Grilled chicken gizzards are sold as street food in South Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Haiti, and throughout Southeast Asia." Conspicuously, Haiti is the only country in this list not located in Asia. I think it would sound more logical and authoritative to drop Haiti from the list, or if noteworthy to format the sentence differently. For example: Grilled chicken gizzards are sold as street food in South Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, and throughout Southeast Asia, as well as Haiti, the United States and other Western nations. --75.162.56.217 (talk) 19:59, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Magnetism?
Is it true that a strong magnetic field can have an effect on a bird's gizzard? If so, how?Inkan1969 (talk) 14:29, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 18 December 2015
The page reads, " The birds that do, employ the following method". There should not be a comma between subject and verb. "The birds that do" is the subject. "Employ" is the verb. English does not allow a comma between subject and verb in this way. Compare with, for example, "She, ran." Wikipedia would not let me make this correction myself. Evidently there was a mass attack on the "Gizzard" page and they had to secure it. That's nonsense of course. Obviously, Wikipedia just isn't what it claims to be. That stuff about anybody being able to edit a page is an outright lie.

Koilin
This term attracted my attention, both the "carbohydrate-protein complex" description, and the red non-functional link. So I did a bit of digging. These references indicate pretty conclusively that the yellow koilin lining of the gizzard is 1) protein and fat, with no carbohydrate, and 2) related to keratin. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237194838_THE_COMPOSITION_STRUCTURE_AND_MECHANISM_OF_FORMATION_OF_THE_LINING_OF_THE_GIZZARD_OF_THE_CHICKEN https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/fstr/24/5/24_893/_html/-char/ja So, I am editing the description appropriately. 2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:9C:50C1:E363:C9E1 (talk) 06:02, 10 March 2021 (UTC)JustSomeWikiReader
