First Vomit!?

In the human world, vomiting all over your date is not considered a pleasant end to a perfect evening -- but in the avian world, it could mean true love.

Regurgitation, perhaps one of the most perplexing bird behaviors, occurs when a bird throws up small amounts of food with the intention of feeding it to a loved one. Gross? Perhaps, to those who don't understand avian behavior. Normal? Absolutely.
