The scientific name for a beak is "rostrum". The lower portion is the mandibular rostrum and is made up of the mandiblar bone and mandibular beak (aka gnathotheca: the hard covering). The upper portion is the maxillary rostrum with the premaxilla bone and maxillary beak (aka rhinotheca). Gnathotheca comes from the Greek words meaning "jaw + box" and rhinotheca means "nose + box".
