is about the digestive croup for the top of the hindquarters also known as the croup see rump animal two white bellied parrots with bulging crops after feeding as a greylag goose eats grass the full crop is clearly visible one greater flamingo chick in zoo basel is fed on crop milk the crop serial 4 of a pigeon columba livia is prominently seen at the beginning of the alimentary canal the crop also the croup the craw the ingluvies and the sublingual pouch is a thin walled expanded portion of the alimentary tract which is used for the storage of food before digestion the crop is an anatomical structure in vertebrate animals such as birds and invertebrate animals such as gastropods snails and slugs earthworms 1 leeches 2 and insects 3 insects edit cropping is used by bees to temporarily store nectar of flowers when bees suck nectar it is stored in their crops 4 other hymenoptera also use crops to store liquid food the crop in eusocial insects such as ants has specialized to be distensible and this specialization enables important communication between colonial insects through trophallaxis 5 the crop can be found in the foregut of insects 6 birds edit in a bird s digestive system the crop is an expanded muscular pouch near the gullet or throat it is a part of the digestive tract essentially an enlarged part of the esophagus as with most other organisms that have a crop it is used to temporarily store food not all bird species have one in adult doves and pigeons it can produce crop milk to feed newly hatched birds 7 scavenging birds such as vultures will gorge themselves when prey is abundant causing their crop to bulge they subsequently sit sleepy or half torpid to digest their food most raptors including hawks eagles and vultures as stated above have a crop however owls do not similarly all true quail old world quail and new world quail have a crop but buttonquail do not chickens turkeys ducks 8 and geese 9 possess a crop as do parrots 10 pigeons also have crops one domestic breed type is even bred to exaggerate the typical crop inflating behavior so that the crop is inflated like a balloon some extinct birds like enantiornithes did not have crops 11 literary references edit in the sherlock holmes story the adventure of the blue carbuncle 1892 a valuable gem is hidden inside a bird s crop 12 craw is an obsolete term for crop 13 and this is still seen in the saying it sticks in my craw meaning i can t metaphorically swallow it that is that a situation or other entity is unacceptable or at any rate annoying 14 see also edit
