Open in App
Solution

  • Depending on what food birds eat, their beaks are modified according to it.
  • Seed eating birds like pigeons have triangular shaped beaks that enable them to crack the shell of the seeds.
  • Parrots have hook shaped beaks to scoop out the pulp from the fruits and crack seeds and nuts.
  • Hummingbirds have long fine beaks which enables them to suck the nectar from the flowers.
