Is any bird can produce milk?

No. Only mammals produce milk for their young. The only birds that produce milk are pigeons.


What animal that produces milk but the young does not suckle?

I believe that Pigeons and Flamingos produce a 'crop milk' that they feed to their young by regurgitation.


Do reptiles feed their young milk?

No. Only mammals produce and feed their young true milk, that is a lactose-based liquid secreted through mammary glands. Some birds produce that is often called "croup milk", that is a partially digested food mixture, and they regurgitate it to their young, but it is not true milk. Snakes also produce venom, that when harvested (usually for the purpose of making anti-venoms), is often called "milking" the snake. This is not used for any form of feeding, and is not milk either.


Does a mother sheep feed its babies milk?

No. No birds feed milk to their young. This characteristic is unique to mammals alone. Only mammals have mammary glands, which are necessary to produce milk. Ducks and geese do not produce milk, so, no they do not feed milk to their young. That is something that mammals do, of which waterfowl are not. Baby ducklings are hatched knowing how to find food and eat. The mother may lead them to a good spot for some tasty roots, but the ducklings know how to eat all by themselves. As mentioned, no species of birds provide milk for their young. Some birds are fed on special secretions from the parent birds' crop, and these may even be called crop milk, but it is not milk in the true sense of the word. Birds which feed their young with "crop milk" include pigeons, doves and flamingos.
