Why are birds' beaks different?
|
|
Each bird species has a beak whose shape is best suited to the way it feeds. Birds of prey have hooked beaks for tearing flesh, while waders have long beaks for probing the mud for worms. Kookaburras have stabbing beaks for catching reptiles, while nightjars have wide gapes to catch flying insects. Puffins use their beaks both for catching food and to send signals.
