Mother AND father's milk. Birds aren't mammals. They don't have "teets" (haven't found any on my hens at least...heh). Both male and females produce crop milk. That is what they puke up to feed the babies. Doves and pidgeons do the same thing.
Ask a bird lover. You'll get an interesting answer every time. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Friday, February 11, 2011 9:31:44 PM)
