Kiwi use their long beaks for finding food, and it is adapted in a unique way to help the kiwi find food.
Kiwi are unusual birds with their nostrils located at the tip of their beak, and they have a very highly developed sense of smell, being able to smell out food beneath the surface of the ground.
Kiwi will dig their beaks into the ground to a depth that extends the entire length of the bill in order to find earthworms and other invertebrates.
long beaks for piercing down into ground for worms and insects!
One of the adaptations kiwis have is that they are the only birds with nostrils at the end of the beaks. This is to locate predators, due to their poor eyesight. Also, their thick brown hair-like fur patterns camouflages them on the ground from predators

an adaptation that can help a bird survive is its beak .
Kiwis belong to the evolutionary family Apterygidae. They are flightless birds native to New Zealand and are part of a group known as ratites, which also includes ostriches, emus, and cassowaries. Kiwis are unique in their characteristics, such as their long beaks and strong sense of smell, distinguishing them from other ratites. Their evolutionary lineage is considered ancient, tracing back to Gondwana.
Size and shape of their beaks.
Sandpipers have adapted their beaks to suit their feeding habits, which typically involve probing into mud or sand to find invertebrates. Their beaks are often long, slender, and slightly curved, allowing them to reach into narrow crevices or deeper into the substrate for food. This adaptation enhances their foraging efficiency, enabling them to exploit a variety of prey in different environments. Overall, the shape and length of sandpiper beaks are crucial for their survival and ecological niche.
Adaptation
Even though they have long mouths that look like "beaks", they are not considered "beaks".
Charles Darwin studied the adaptation of finches beaks on the Galapagos Islands, but I don't know who you're thinking of. ~ ~Sleenky
With evolution the beaks transformed into long beaks for eating bugs and short beaks for eating seeds
