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.
