No, Birds are not mammals and a ruminant is any artiodactyl mammal that digests its food in two steps, first by eating the raw material and regurgitating a semi-digested form known as cud from within their first stomach, known as the rumen.

Not exactly; rabbits do actually digest nutrients a second time, but they don't regurgitate their food and chew it again. Instead, they have two different kinds of poo: the medium-hard, round poo that actually comes out, and cecotropes, a mushy, grape-shaped kind that contains nutrients from their digested food which they eat (yes, eat!) to get the nutrients back in their body.
