A minor correction, master. The stomach is specifically referred to as a 
stomach. :-) Gizzard refers specifically to the muscular enlargement  of the 
alimentary canal just before the stomach. Birds store grit (tiny stones) 
there and use it to grind their food into a paste before it is sent to the 
actual stomach for digestion. Dinosaurs also possessed a gizzard as do 
earthworms and a few insects.
