what
A bird's beak is evolved for the sort of food the bird eats. For example, birds who eat hard seeds have strong beaks to crack them open. Birds who drink flower nectar have long skinny beaks to fit inside the flowers.
Bird bills can be similar across different species due to convergent evolution, where unrelated species develop similar traits in response to comparable ecological niches or feeding habits. For example, birds that primarily feed on seeds may have stout, conical bills, while those that catch insects might have slender, pointed bills. Additionally, factors like habitat and diet can lead to similar bill shapes, even among birds that are not closely related. These adaptations enhance their survival and efficiency in obtaining food.
Birds don't have teeth, but some have serrated bills.

Owls have beaks, not bills. Their beaks are curved and sharp, which helps them tear apart prey. Bills are typically longer and used for probing or foraging in birds like ducks or shorebirds.
