https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_milk

Crop milk is a secretion from the lining of the crop of parent birds that is regurgitated to young birds. It is found among all pigeons and doves where it is referred to as pigeon milk. An analog to crop milk is also secreted from the esophagus of flamingos and some penguins.[1][2][3]

Crop milk bears little physical resemblance to mammalian milk, the former being a semi-solid substance somewhat like pale yellow cottage cheese. It is extremely high in protein and fat, containing higher levels than cow or human milk.

[4] It has also been shown to contain anti-oxidants and immune-enhancing factors.[5] Like mammalian milk, crop milk contains IgA antibodies. It also contains some bacteria.[6] Unlike mammalian milk, which is an emulsion, pigeon crop milk consists of a suspension of protein-rich and fat-rich cells that proliferate and detach from the lining of the crop.

[7] In pigeons and flamingoes, both the male and female adult produce crop milk and share in the feeding and care of the young. In penguins, only the males lactate

[6] Lactation in birds is also controlled by prolactin, which is the same hormone that causes lactation in mammals.

His crop milk probably tastes like decayed fish and cheap beer.

That's not how it works either.

You're supposed to look in the mirror, and say XCRMonger three times.

That actually has the look of a really demented Valentines Day card. Maybe Arfcom should try dabbling a little bit in the greeting card industry?
