Bird beaks vary significantly based on their feeding habits, showcasing remarkable adaptations. Woodpeckers possess strong, straight beaks for pecking tree trunks to extract insects. Hens have short, conical beaks with sharp edges for breaking seeds. Eagles, with their strong, hooked beaks, hunt and tear meat from their prey. Pelicans feature large beaks with a pouch for fishing, helping them transport their catch. Hummingbirds, on the other hand, have long, thin beaks suited for extracting nectar from flowers. These diverse beak shapes reflect the specific diets of various bird species.
