Text, Questions & Answers

Beaks, or bills, are one of the key features that make birds unique. They use their beaks just like we use our hands - for finding food, building nests, and even for defense! The shape and size of a bird's beak can tell us a lot about what they eat and where they live. For example, a bird with a sharp, pointed beak probably eats insects, while a bird with a short, thick beak might crunch on seeds. A pelican’s large pouch-like beak helps it scoop fish out of the water, and a woodpecker’s strong, chisel-like beak lets it drill into trees to find insects! The amazing thing is, bird beaks have evolved over time to be perfect for their owner's lifestyle. So next time you see a bird, try to guess what it eats just by looking at its beak. Who knew noses could be so neat!
