Birds have a special organ on their esophagus called a gizzard. In this they store pebbles that they have swallowed and when food passes through they use the pebbles to grind it up. Birds don't have teeth so they don't chew with their mouths, they use the gizzard instead.

Yes, animals such as cows, goats, and horses chew their food to break it down into smaller, more easily digestible pieces. This process is known as mastication and is vital for proper digestion.

Nope. Owls are accomplished swallowers. They will swallow a mouse (or whatever) digest it then cough back up the skin and skeleton.
