      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…

      … it’s poop, isn’t it.

          That doesn’t fit the meme at all. I want to file a complaint.

      The small birbs eat the mother’s puke. I thought most birds do that?

    Do vultures do something other than what other birds do? Because most birds regurgitate food for the chicks to eat.

      I think you’re right that they regurgitate food for their young like most birds. A unique puke related vulture fact is that they projectile vomit at predators as a deterrent and means of dropping weight to flee after they’ve been gorging on a carcass.
