Birds a cropper

It isn't only big fancy well~known birds who can come a cropper. A feral pigeon was found soaked and really skinny, but has a half full, doughy crop.

The crop is a muscular pouch which is part of the esophagus (or gullet, the organ pipe where food passes through). It stores food temporarily before the digestion process begins and the food moves to the stomach. 

Slowly and surely, in the custody of Carol, the pigeon will hopefully make a recovery.
