[kopend]

do any animals produce any other colour of milk than white
i.e hippos produce pink milk

flamingoes produce a bright red milk.

Excuse my ignorance, but, a milk producing bird?

[Briar_x]

well, yes.

Its not milk as in milk that comes from breasts....

easiest way of explaining it is for me not to, but you to look at this http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=145124 2

kopend did not state that it had to be mammal milk.

Briar_x - regarding your Flamingo link
"This milk contains more fat and much less protein than does pigeon milk. Flamingo milk starts out a dark red colour, as it contains both red and white blood cells. Both male and female birds produce milk. "

Can I just say eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww!!!

[Briar_x]
