they use their beaks to crack it open
There were many islands and finches on each. The finches did not fly from their home island to other islands. Different islands had different food for the finches. Darwin noticed that where there were plenty of honeysuckle flowers for the birds to feed on, the finches there had long beaks. On islands where the best bird-food was small seeds, the finches had beaks more like canary beaks, short and strong. Darwin also noticed that the finches were all from the same original flock and had probably mixed up when the islands were closer together and they could fly to any island to feed. So Darwin concluded that when the finches became isolated on different islands, their beaks evolved to be most suitable for eating the food available. The birds with the wrong beaks died young and had few chicks and these chicks unfortunately for them inherited their parents silly beaks. The birds with the right beaks fed well and had lots of chicks who inherited good beaks. So eventually nearly all the finches on any given island had the most suitably shaped beaks.
Some cuckoos do not raise their young, they leave their eggs in the in the nest of other birds so they raise them, these types are known as parasitic cuckoos. However those that raise their own chicks hold food in their beaks and push it down the chicks throat into the stomach.
You don't, that's the Point. Birds have beaks, not teeth. "Rare like hen's teeth" simply mean something that doesn't exist, can't be found. Chicks do have a point on the top of their beaks called an egg tooth. It's used to break the shell and isn't a tooth in the real sense.

there are hard bird beaks and soft donkey beaks specify which type you want they have razor sharp beaks.
No - chickens are always born with beaks. However, there is a very cruel procedure in which chicks have their beaks cut off, which producers use to keep the birds from cannibalizing one another.
Yes, to my knowledge all birds have beaks yes they do. if they did not have beaks then how would they
yes they do have beaks
Even though they have long mouths that look like "beaks", they are not considered "beaks".
With evolution the beaks transformed into long beaks for eating bugs and short beaks for eating seeds
