Best Answer

yes, they do

The birds nostils are located on the bill, top of the bill, and are placed in various distances from the head , depending on species.


Some birds however, like some found in the Galapagos Islands, have nasal cavities where others do, but they are sealed off where they would normally produce holes in the beak. This is so water doesn't enter when they dive for food.
