The shape of a bird's bill determines what it is able to hunt and/or eat. A long beak can be useful for catching fish or insects, or strange specialties such as sucking nectar in the case of a hummingbird. A thick, sturdy bill allows birds to eat large, hard seeds and cut the flesh off of fruits, as in the case of the hornbills and toucans. Smaller sturdy beaks allow birds to eat smaller seeds. A short, sharp, curved beak allows Birds of Prey to effectively eat meat.
