What birds can produce 'milk'?
Correct answer: Pigeons
Laura
Rosie-knees, As mentioned in the description, one name for it is crop milk. It's formed in the crop, a pouch at the top of the esophagus.
Marcy

this sounds like a great opportunity for a government program to investigate ways to milk a pigeon.

I always heard that it was called regurgitation, not crop milk
Terry
I raised pigeons but did not know that they produced milk!

my Dad used to hand rear baby pigeons on farex baby food...The local children would bring him the squabs that had fallen from their nests...🙂

Cat Mom
mokoosh, then the difference in how the 2 are thought of is sad
Cat Mom
Sis, and do those 2 seem any different than the other 13? Just curious
Cat Mom
wesley, lol! A minus is that they said it isn't technically milk but a plus is that they said it is more nutritious than mammal or human milk!
Leeb
Wow! Never heard of that!
Sis
WOW 😮 I HAD NO IDEA!!! And as a very positive breastfeeding mother, this is cool to know. I have 15 grandchildren and 13 have been breast fed. The two that weren’t have a mother who refused.
