Regurgitation

Was observing this bird from very close distance and still this bird was ok with us around which
was very unusual... And then after a very long wait he puked it out..

Probably it was 'unpalatable/unable to engulf i.e. large to digest' bee was making it uncomfortable to fly or do other activities.. But after puking it out.. He caught a butterfly of even a larger size.. And legend continued.... ;-)

Regurgitation is the expulsion of material from the pharynx, or
esophagus, usually characterized by the presence of undigested food or blood..

I saw many of these in Sri Lanka 2 weeks ago and most were quite approachable, and indeed always eating :) Posted 10 years ago
