Ok, now you have to explain for those of us who are not birdologists
The small birbs eat the mother's puke. I thought most birds do that?
I'm pretty sure you're correct.
Yeah I don't get it either but this what I get for only studying bird law instead of birdology.

I mean, they could carry the food to their young, carry their young to the food, regurgitate like most birds, there really isn't another way to...

That doesn't fit the meme at all. I want to file a complaint.
I'm not sure if there's any real recourse as far as bird law is concerned.
New World vultures also urinate straight down their legs; the uric acid kills bacteria accumulated from walking through carcasses, and also acts as evaporative cooling.
Ornithologists for those looking for the word, which I confused for a long time with opthalmology.
