    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.
