Pigeons have short, conical beaks that are well-suited for their diet, which primarily consists of seeds, grains, and fruits. This shape allows them to easily pick up and crack open food items. Their beaks are also equipped with a slightly curved tip, enabling them to manipulate food effectively. Overall, their beak structure is adapted for efficient foraging and feeding.

How could you use artificial selection to breed pigeons with large beaks?
Artificial selection (or selective breeding) describes intentional breeding for certain traits, or combination of traits. The way to breed pigeons with large beaks is to find pigeons with large beaks of both sexes and mate them and then not allow breeding for pigeons without large beaks.
