A minor error:

Craw, n. 1. claims to be "The crop adj. of birds or insects." Of course,
it has nothing to do with "crop adj." It should link to "crop n." instead!

> I. 1. a. A pouch-like enlargement of the œsophagus or gullet in many
> birds, in which the food undergoes a partial preparation for digestion
> before passing on to the true stomach; the craw.

It's not just the text. The link goes to "crop adj." as well.
