The pigeon-eating pelican in St James' park yesterday made me wonder what happens to the feathers? I imagine they're indigestible, but if the pelican vomited then surely the vomit would get stuck in its pouch? How do pelicans get rid of undesirable objects from their stomachs?

I don't think birds can vomit...at all.

BIrds regurgitate to feed their young, and many do in courtship. So yes, they can vomit.

i would guess they eliminate or void like the rest of us do---(poop)--however dont pelicans regurgitate food into the mouths of their young to feed them?
