Querying specific Google Sheets worksheet via URL, SQL-style

The Google sheet at the URL below contains two worksheets, Sheet1, Sheet2.

Google sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgdF1hoid8m1Zj3KburwjZRGkydLh1Sum4DshUMaIeo/edit#gid=0

When I use the Query URL #1 below, it successfully returns a JSON file with the correct result for the query: SELECT B where A contains "nut" (the result being the string "crunch")

Query URL #1: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgdF1hoid8m1Zj3KburwjZRGkydLh1Sum4DshUMaIeo/gviz/tq?tq=SELECT%20B%20where%20A%20contains%20%22nut%22

Please note that the worksheet "sheet2" contains a different table as you can see at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgdF1hoid8m1Zj3KburwjZRGkydLh1Sum4DshUMaIeo/edit#gid=1652705509

If I try to query that worksheet with the Query URL #2 shown below, it does not work (it should return a json file with the result "raccoon"). Instead of returning that json file, it only displays that worksheet. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

Query url #2: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgdF1hoid8m1Zj3KburwjZRGkydLh1Sum4DshUMaIeo/edit#gid=1652705509/gviz/tq?tq=SELECT%20B%20where%20A%20contains%20%22bird%22

The issue is /edit#gid=1652705509/ in the query string.

To target Sheet2, do this:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgdF1hoid8m1Zj3KburwjZRGkydLh1Sum4DshUMaIeo/gviz/tq?tq=SELECT%20B%20where%20A%20contains%20%22bird%22&sheet=Sheet2

Note the end parameter &sheet=Sheet2.
