Birds can and do burp, but due to the way their digestive system works it is not common or indeed necessary and is often a symptom of illness. Scientists conjecture that it should not be impossible for birds to fart, but it has never been observed.

I have been told to my dismay by a coworker that due to the presence of gizzards and crops(special bird guts)they can neither burp or fart

your co-worker is wrong, birds can and do burp. due to the fact that a bird's gastro-intestinal system is quite short compared to other animals, however, birds are far less likely to for a buildup of gasses. birds are very capable of expelling the small amounts of gas that do occur. bird digestive systems are believed to be short to the evolutionary pressure of reducing weight for flight. shorter digestive systems weigh less and also store food and waste mass in smaller amounts.

it is a scientific fact that hummingbirds hover so well not because they flap their little wings really fast or in figure 8s or whatever, but because they literally fart to stay airborne

they fart with precision

obviously farts can handle only the vertical aspect; they need the burps to move horizontally

nature isa miracle
