“See here, sir! See what my wife found in its crop!” He held out his hand and displayed upon the centre of the palm a brilliantly scintillating blue stone, rather smaller than a bean in size, but of such purity and radiance that it twinkled like an electric point in the dark hollow of his hand.

Fun fact: In our world, geese don’t have crops. But as we all know, the Sherlock Holmes stories take place in the universe with milk-drinking snakes and Van Helsing’s immortal parrots and apocalypse frogs, so it’s all good.

Am I not getting the joke? Geese in our world absolutely have crops https://www.fao.org/3/y4359e/y4359e05.htm. I’m ao confused.

i don’t go here and have nothing riding on this, i was just scrolling by, but as it happens i work in a poultry slaughterhouse and i can also confirm that geese have crops, i have in fact removed them myself.

i can also confirm that if you remove a goose’s esophagus and wash it really well and are really brave you can blow into it and make it honk but i don’t recommend this. (Your picture was not posted)
