Birds use their beaks to locate their prey, but only pelicans and other birds with large beaks frequently use their beaks to catch prey. Most birds either use their talons (claws), or sense of smell.

∙ 10y agoIt varies based on the bird type. Raptors (eagles, owls, falcons) are carnivorous, and have the needed powerful eyesight to locate their prey. Some birds are insect eaters (robins, mockingbirds, thrashers, woodpeckers), and they locate their food in the grass or in tree trunks. Birds that eat seed find it on the ground, on seed-bearing plants of the types that they prefer, or from the birdfeeders that many of us provide for them. Then there are the hummingbirds, which live solely on the nectar of flowers and nectar feeders.
