yes - that's how they feed their young

Yes..this is how they feed their young when they are first hatched. The chicks cannot eat solid food right away, so the parents regurgitate for them.

Yes. In fact, thats how they feed their young. The mother (or father) will go and catch prey, swallow it, let it get churned up in its gizzard, return to the nest and regergitate the "pre-chewed" food into the mouths of the hatchlings.

By definition, regurgitation is the forceful expulsion of the contents of the mouth, esophagus, or crop (Nash, DVM). It is normal behavior, and is different from vomiting, which is more of a spitting action involving the expulsion of the contents of the proventriculus, ventriculus, or intestine. With regurgitation, the bird bobs its head and stretches its neck, while in vomiting, the bird shakes its head from side to side. Birds regurgitate their food to feed their young. Sometimes, they even regurgitate food to feed their mate. If the bird has bonded with you, there's a chance that it will regurgitate its food as a token of affection. Vomiting is a different issue altogether, and could be caused by a number of infections, diseases, nutritional imbalance, or exposure to toxic elements. It can also be a reaction to certain medication given.
Find out if your bird is regurgitating or vomiting. If it's the latter, take it to the avian vet as soon as possible.

Yes, on quite a few levels. They can be sick if they are poorly, some birds regurgitate to feed young but not all. and all raptors (and some other species) reguritate pellets or castings, these are the leftovers from food they have eaten, eg, bones, feathers and fur, that the bird cannot digest.
