How do Woodpecker's use their beaks?
Woodpeckers use their strong, chisel-like beaks to drill into tree bark and wood in search of insects, larvae, and sap. Their beaks are adapted for pecking at high speeds and with great force, allowing them to create holes and extract food. Additionally, woodpeckers use their beaks to create nesting cavities and communicate with other woodpeckers through drumming sounds. The shape and strength of their beaks are vital for their survival in their arboreal habitats.

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. You may also be able to genetically engineer pigeons so that they have large beaks.
