Why do osprey have beaks?
Avocets often feed by wading, head pointed downward, in shallow water, waving their heads (with bills partly open) from side to side. Small creatures are snapped up, or get caught in the filtering membranes within the bill. Having an upward curving bill lets the end of it be parallel to the ground when the bird is doing this. That way more area can be swept with each pass. A hockey stick is bent the same way for the same reason. The bill tapers to a fine point, too, to reduce drag in the mud. Hockey sticks don't need that adaptation.

How does the air around a birds wing cause lift?
The shape of a bird's wing, with a curved upper surface and flat lower surface, creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom. When the bird moves its wings through the air, a higher air pressure below the wing pushes the bird up due to the pressure difference and creates lift. This lift helps the bird to fly.
What bird lives up to its name?
