Depends on which you mean...
No, milk is a different secretion than mucus. That's like saying that saliva is bile, or semen is sweat.
Birds are oviparous. It's appallingly unscientific to make those sorts of comparisons to placental mammals.
In other news...Soylent Green is people!

The Northeastern region is often referred to as "Down East"
I don't know why or who started it, but Mrs. Dickenson, my third-grade teacher, said it was so, and she's never lied to me.
FWIW
These days, no, but they can be.
I remember back when I was a young child my mom cracking open an egg and finding a semi-formed young chick in it. Of course back then all the local farm wives raised chickens (for butcher) and eggs for their own use. They would bring their excess into town and sell them to the local people and grocery stores.

ROFL I learned that from "The Magic School Bus" in 1st grade. Sorry, and I know I sound like an ass, but :laugh:
That reminds me of a very old joke.
Gomer Pyle visits a house of ill repute, but only has 50 cents. The gal says that for 50 cents she'll let him tickle her belly button, so they go back to the bedroom and turn the lights off. Pretty soon she says, "Gomer, that's NOT my belly button!!"
To which Gomer replies, "Surprise, surprise, suprise! That's not my finger either."

I did not realize the spoken word for those tasty little treats served at parties was the same as the written word, Hors d'?uvre, until French class in college. This realization came in an embarrassing flash when the professor wrote the word on the board and pronounced it at the same time.
In my epiphany, I loudly mentioned "So that is how that word is pronounced!". The professor asked me how I thought it had been pronounced and I replied with how I had always voiced it in my head when I read the word, "whores-dev-or". Oooooh, the class laughed hard.

I have a friend (nearly as old as me ~50 give or take) that just recently had the same kind of epiphany with the word "Paradigm" ... he kept saying para-dig-em ... at first I thought he was being funny, then when the light bulb lit he fessed up.
