Vomit

Vomiting is the body's natural way of emitting things in the digestive system. The most common causes of vomiting are gastroenteritis, the stomach flu, food poisoning, overeating, food allergies and over-consumption of alcohol. Vomit is usually made up of partly digested food particles and digestive juices, and exits the body through the mouth.

Why do budgies vomit?

Vomiting is a courtship behaviour: one budgie is showing off how much food it can afford to waste, and a budgie with more wastefood means a budgie with more food it can afford to use on feeding offspring. Thus, a budgie that vomits more is a better mate.

The above answer describes the act of regurgitating food, and it is indeed a courtship behaviour. It is also how the mother birds feeds her young. In regurgitation, the budgie regurgitates food in its crop. When regurgitating food, the budgie bobs its head up and down, stretches out its neck, and opens its beak wide to pass food to another bird.

However, vomiting is another matter. Vomiting is the act of expelling the contents of the bird's intestine, not its crop, and is a sign of illness. You can tell the difference because when budgies vomit, they tend to shake their head from side to side and the vomit sprays as the bird seems to "spit". Vomiting can be a sign of a virus, bacterial infection, fungal infection, parasites or any number of causes. If your bird seems to be vomiting food, rather than regurgitating food, you really should take it to a vet as soon as possible.

Do you like to barf?

Vomiting (known medically as emesis and informally as throwing up and by a number of other terms) is the forceful expulsion of the contents of one's stomach through the mouth and sometimes the nose. Vomiting can occur due to a wide variety of conditions; it may present as a specific response to ailments like gastritis or poisoning, or as a non-specific sequela of disorders ranging from brain tumors and elevated intracranial pressure to overexposure to ionizing radiation. The feeling that one is about to vomit is called nausea, which usually precedes, but does not always lead to, vomiting. Antiemetics are sometimes necessary to suppress nausea and vomiting. In severe cases, where dehydration develops, intravenous fluid may be required.

Is it true when you laugh too hard you get sick to your stomach?

This may happen to some people, but does not happen to everyone.

I have had a few uncontrollable laughing spells that were so intense I could not remain standing (e.g. one time I was near a wall and leaned against it then slowly slid down the wall until I was sitting on the floor, another time my legs just folded and I was probably lucky not to have hurt myself). Luckily these are few and far between, although they do feel unbelievably intensely good!

I have heard of people who lose the ability to control the excretory sphincters when they laugh very hard and "soil their undergarments".

Different people have different reactions to such things.

There are many different bacteria, parasites and other conditions, such as foreign body ingestion (sand, rocks, etc.) that can cause what you are describing.

If you drink 2 much water can you vomit?

If you drink too much water you can DIE!!! Even though the typical human body (and even the world as we know it) is made of roughly 75 percent water; just like anything else, there is only so much your body can take. Once your body gets too much (just like anything your body gets too much of) water, it tries to dispell it in anyway it can; vomit, bowel movements, acid reflux, gas.) It takes many gallons (at one time) to get to the point where your blood becomes more water (rather than blood) that your body can handle. The last factual recollection I can recall is a woman who drank 7 gallons of water in 5 minutes. She won the competition, but lost her life. Because of water poisoning. I believe it was in 2007 but "DO NOT QUOTE ME".

What gives vomit it's 'distinct' disgusting smell and taste?

Butyric acid is one of the compounds found in the digestive process, and it has a foul vomit smell.

This substance has a minor use in measuring the acid resistance of concretes used in slaughterhouses.
