Animal adaptation - Different Beaks For Different Jobs

Today we were looking at why birds have different sorts of beaks. We used kitchen utensils to imitate a birds beak and the method they use to gather their food.



Filter feeder
Breaking or clipping at shoots and grasses


Using a bristly tongue to drink nectar from a flower
A small sharp beak for picking up seeds and insects






Pushing a long beak down into the ground to search for worms and insects

    After I did the activity I understood clearly why different birds had different shaped beaks.
