parents feeding young

How do parent birds feed their young? Is it all regurgitation? At some point do they carry food pieces to the hatchlings? Do they eat and then regurgitate right away, or can they regurgitate any food in their stomach from whenever they ate it? (like emperor penguins). How often do they feed the hatchlings? I have baby Goulds and am very curious.

They usually eat, drink and deposit it into the babies mouthby regurgitation.
