I am not certain that there is only one bird that fits this description. One bird that pops into my head is the pink flamingo. I have seen these birds with large, curved beaks digging in the mud for what food they can find there. Birds such as blue herons do not have the same beaks as the pink flamingos. The herons' beaks are long and thin, being suited only to catch fish as they swim past, not burrow in the mud. The first time I saw pink flamingos in real, live, close-up color was in about the year 1965. That summer break from school, my parents and I took a cruise ship to the Bahamas. (I was all grown up at 15!) Once we arrived at the main island, my mother and I rented a small motorcycle to take a little tour. (I was driving. My dad found other transportation.) We rode up the hill to a huge, open area with a tremendous fountain for a center-piece, and there we found a great, wonderful "herd" of flamingos (as opposed to a flock of birds). As we tourists gathered in a wide circle around the birds, a large man wearing a military uniform stepped forward and began barking orders to the herd! The birds moved as if one bird, turning to the right, and marching around the fountain! Squad halt, to the left, march! Back around the fountain they went. They performed for several minutes in an impressive array of military discipline, then he shouted, "Fall out!" And all the birds began wandering about, grazing in the grass, stepping into the fountain, and generally getting in the way of us tourists. I had never seen or heard anything like that before then, and have never seen or heard anything like that since that day. Another time I saw pink flamingos in real, live, close-up pink feathers, was on a visit to Silver Springs, Florida. There are glass-bottom boats to ride in upon the gorgeous, crystal-clear waters of the bubbling springs. You can see fish swimming beneath the boats, darting among the swaying fronds of long, green grasses growing up from the sandy bottom. Off at a distance from the large lake area, there were pink flamingos wading along the shore, dipping their long, curved beaks into the mud. The guide in the boat told us the beaks act like sieves, filtering out the debris, mud, and water, and allowing crayfish and minnows to be sucked up into the long, flexible necks, arriving finally in the birds' stomachs to be digested. I hope this bit of information is what you are looking for. Perhaps other people who read this may be able to come up with the names of other birds that feed the same way as flamingos. At the moment, I can only think of flamingos.
The use of any beak of a bird is to find and pick up food.
Crooked, hooked beak. Look at a crow: They feed on snails.
Bills or beaks are the type of mouthpart that a bird has. The beak is shaped in a way for the type of food that the bird eats.
It is affected by its shape due to what exactly the bird can eat. Shovelersuse their spatula-shaped bills to filter food from mud & water. Eagles(and hawks) are diurnal raptors & use their hook-like bills to tear apart large prey.
The different beak shapes are the result of choosing and adapting to, a different food source. A hummingbird has a long beak to probe into a flower for the nectar. A sparrow have a short beak to eat seeds, and other foods. The birds of prey have sharp curved beak to rip the flesh of their prey.This means that there is little competition for food in an area if most birds eat different food.
The beak can allow crushing of seeds and digging into the ground or vegetation for food
The type of a food a bird can eat depends on its beak, like a humming bird's beak is long and pointed and it can only sip or drink nectar. An eagle has a big curved beak so it can eat small or medium sized animals and rodants. But the type of food can affect the type of bird, say a hawk eats some kind of rodent or animal that has an infection in it. It could affect the hawk by making it sick or it may die. So yes, the type of food may affect the type of bird.

Curved. Allright. But pelicans can store more food in its beak for its babies, unlike the bald eagle.
The flamingo has a curved beak to help with food and filtering. They are able to scoop up food with their curved beaks.
The use of any beak of a bird is to find and pick up food.
You need to stuff the food down the beak just like the mom bird does. She softens it up and spits it up into the beak of the baby.
The beak shape is a good guide to the type of food the bird usually eats. This may be one of the most useful things in the identification of the bird species.
Fish.

A trumpet beak refers to a specific type of beak shape found in some bird species, characterized by its elongated, slightly curved form that resembles a trumpet's bell. This adaptation is often seen in birds that feed on nectar, allowing them to reach into flowers for food. The structure facilitates efficient feeding while minimizing energy expenditure. Birds with trumpet beaks are typically associated with pollination activities in their ecosystems.
its just how the bird is and some of its characteristics but this question was very poorly worded
