Land Wild Birds' Beaks Functions

We all know that birds have beaks or bills, but because they have teeth to chew food? Are these beaks or bills (interchangeable) only for dining purposes? The answers to these questions do not! All wild birds' beekeepers or their birds work in many ways depending on their environment and nutritional needs. This article deals with birds of the earth like birds of prey, birds and birds of prey, etc. Although aquatic birds and waterbirds follow many of these concepts will be addressed in a future article. Bills or beaks come in a variety of shapes and sizes each determining the function that it plays in the needs of wild birds.

Wild birds' beaks consist of two skeletons forming the upper and lower jaw. These structures are coated with a thin layer of keratin (protein) made up of skin cells that grow from the plates in the base of the mandible. This sheath is called rhamphotheca. These cells grow constantly to replace the old and worn areas of the bird bill. The upper mandible (upper jaw) is included in the skull. Each side of the skull has a bony cleft attached to the upper jaw. The nasofrontal joint allows the top of the beak to move up or down. The lower mandible is connected to two U-shaped or V-shaped plates that support the upper jaw bone. Attached plates on both sides of the skull. The jaw muscles allow the beak to close despite the weakness of its muscles most of the time.

Most wild birds have tomia on the lower jaw. These edges are round or sharp or serrated on the mandible. This structure helps the slides despite the seeds, insects or lizards and others. Help Tomia in the prey or the slippery fish from escaping or slipping out of the bill.

Wild birds have teeth on their beaks as small bombs to help break their shell to enter the world. This disappears after hatching. Duck and swan have bill screws or bill horns on their beaks that are simply layers of keratin that help in digging plants or opening oysters.

In some wild birds the bill color changes or changes in brightness to attract a mate. Once in the breeding season above the keratin layer comes out and a new layer or cover replaces it. Puffin is a good example of this phenomenon. The cardinal is a good example of getting a more lively beak to attract a mate.

The clap of paper and dance is seen to attract his fellow wild birds such as cranes and chops. Birds touch their bills and dance in mating rituals with their heads swinging and interacting with each other. If the husband stays in sync, the couple will stay together if they are not part of a different partner. Drums of the bill are used by woodcocks and grouse to attract and find their colleagues.

When you notice birds or birds watch the type and size of the bill compared to the head of the bird and the body to help determine the bird seen. The shape will help to categorize the type of food favored by wild birds. The category to which wild birds are suitable is whether the seed-eaters or insect eaters are not always cut and dried because at different times of the year or season the birds may pass through what you eat. For example, Robins usually eat worms or larvae in the spring or when the brood spawn, but with the availability of berries, he may eat them instead. When it becomes difficult to find worms in the autumn or winter months, cranberries become their prominent food. Tomatoes and orioles sip large amounts of nectar in spring, but sups on insects and fruit respectively with the progress of the seasons.

Basically the beak determines the food that the bird prefers and how it gets. The size and shape of the invoice helps as a tool to achieve the goals of the bird. The following is a general overview of the different shapes and sizes of beekeepers of wild birds and their food preferences.

Seed eaters have conical bills that break and burn seeds, nuts and pits. The heavier and heavier bills of cardinals and flipping deal with larger, more solid seeds such as sunflower, safflower, maple and spruce pine. The smaller conical beaks of birds, buntings and birds crush small seeds of grass, millet and stalks.

The nectar has a long, skewed straw, such as bills that allow the humming bird to move to the flower to contain sugary or nectar.

The nectar and fruit tend to have longer and narrower beaks than those who eat the seeds but shorter than nectar to eat nectar. The dyed scarves, vireos and orioles blend in apples, cherries, berry bushes and trees to get their food. Toucan is an exception in the length of the invoice with a long colored bill that enables the bird to reach the avocado and pull it out of the tree.

The insect eaters have short pointed short spoons that can open their bills on a large scale so they can catch insects while flying. Your bills are very small compared to their heads. Cavities and ingestion are enjoyed by flying snacks.

Billing accounts are longer and more accurate than insect binders. The bills appear thicker and heavier in size, although they are not heavy because most of the beaks are hollow. Robbins, shackles, and larvae in the larvae, larvae and insects in the earth collide with these pointed bills.

Chiseler engraved birds several times interfere with birds prober beak. They have long heavy bills that can be touched on logs as well as drill holes and holes. These extremely heavy bills are ever very powerful and allow the birds to dig insects as well as drill large holes for nesting purposes. The Woodpecker family also uses its drum bills for a companion.

Tearing or shredding beaks are very large heavy beaks with a very sharp hook at the end of the beak. These beaks belong to hunting birds of prey. Using the owl, the falcons and the eagle family this piercing Pierce prey kills it. The beak allows the birds to rip or tear the prey into pieces. There is a little tooth on the upper mandible that aligns with the space on the bottom lower jaw to hold in place while the bird is on a journey. Eagles in this group also, although they do not catch but are opportunistic birds that tear and deform.

Although wild birds or birds are similar in many ways, their functions and nutritional needs are dictated by the forms and size of their bills. It is necessary to remember that wild birds intersect with other categories depending on the availability of food this season. Bills serve as tools whether it is to build a nest, mating or to play. Crows and crows love to pick up shiny objects and play them before moving to their nest. Other birds like to pick up threads, animal hair and materials to weave in their nests or nest line. Regardless of the function is the beak plays a key role in the life of birds. Knowing the shape of the invoice helps to identify birds seen by the bird watcher or where the bird watcher may find a certain bird to add to his life list.
