Flamingos feed fluid from their stomach

The twitter user Parveen Kaswan is an Indian Forest Service officer and he shared the fact that parent flamingos produce crop milk in their digestive tracts and regurgitate it to feed young ones. In a separate tweet, he explained the crop milk is made up of protein and fat-rich cells of the lining of crop, which is part of the alimentary canal where food is stored before digestion. This means that the flamingos feed fluid from their stomach before the babies are ready to eat solid food. 

The video that was shared by Parveen Kaswan on February 20 has garnered more than 94,000 views and has been liked by over 9,000 users.
