A flounder is a fish of the families Achiropsettidae, Pleuronectidae, Paralichthyidae, and Bothidae. Flounders are born with eyes on both sides of their heads, but as they get older, one eye migrates to the other side of the body.

It is, nevertheless, fundamentally the same as milk in that it is a white liquid containing all of the antioxidants, lipids, minerals, and proteins that a newborn bird requires.

The crop is a small part of a bird's esophagus used for food storage and, in this case, crop milk production. Pigeons are one of just a few birds that produce crop milk, along with doves, flamingos, and male emperor penguins.
