Adaptations-Birds

(http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/images/donnakirdahy_3.jpg)



Birds have a variety of beaks. They are utilized for eating, defending, feeding, building, courting, and attacking. Both the shape and size of their beaks show what kind of food they eat. Meat-eating birds such as the eagle have sharp, hooked bills that help them tear flesh. Hummingbirds have small thin bills to drink nectar. Wood ducks have muscles that enable them to eat whole acorns.
Birds can live in many habitats. Some can dive to depths of 850 feet and some can fly over tall mountains and can even live in the desert.
Birds rely on hearing and vision as opposed to smell.
