Watching this with my four year old to teach him about bird beaks! He's just now realizing that birds don't have mouths like humans! Lol Great video. Very informative! Thank you! 🕊
I'm glad you found it helpful, Diehard Demon! It's always interesting when you learn a fact like that which exposes your assumptions and reshapes how you see the world. It happens more often with children but we all get to have fun learning. Thanks for watching!
@@iloveanimals5494 Hi! It is a Green-cheeked Conure, and it's hard to tell, but I think it has a color variation like the yellow-sided Green-cheeked Conure, so probably either a pet or feral parrot population because those variations are naturally rare. Hope that helps!
Beaks are also really cute! My husband and I love birds and we feed all of the outdoor birds and we have pet parrots inside the house, every bird is so intelligent and simply adorable!! This is a great video to show beaks!❤️🐦
Thank you, Joy! This was the first video I made for this channel, and while I would make minor technical changes, it's nice to see that the information is still helping people today. I appreciate you watching!
Thank you, Melissa! I'm happy you found some educational value in this. There are so many interesting things to learn about birds. Thanks for watching!
Hi. Please let me know how it goes. My baby sister was a science teacher. Something in me spirit tells me that you are a great teacher educator. 👍🏾👍🏾🌸🌺🖤
I'm glad it was helpful, Eric! There are so many interesting things to learn about birds. There are more adaptation videos on this channel - wing shapes, nest design, even types of feet. Thank you (and your kids) for watching!
You're Very Welcome 🤗 I'm a huge fan of animal documentaries and am always fussing about how there just aren't enough out there on birds and especially parrots 💖 They're so fascinating, you'd think there would be more. So, I'm super happy to have found you-that way I can play them on our tv and our parrots here at home can enjoy them too
Jessica, I think thrashers are really cool as well. They’re related to Mockingbirds and Catbirds. I’ve seen the Sage (Oregon), Long-billed (Texas), Bendire’s (Texas), Brown (Texas), and California thrashers (numerous places in California and Oregon).
Haha, good point! Birds in their natural environments don't have the luxury of choosing food sometimes, just eating what is available. The beak trick gives you an idea what they would eat. Chickens have mixed beaks because they eat seeds or bugs as available. But what's that hook on the end for? Do they tear food?
Good observation! I have never noticed that doves have straight beaks like an insect eater. It's funny, because I think they eat insects rarely, if at all. Doves eat various fruits and seeds. Thanks for doing research to take good care of a bird. You should keep learning!
What shape beak does it have? If it's a Canary, then they naturally eat seeds, but a pet bird needs better food than just seeds. There are canary pellets which have balanced nutrition and should be the majority of their diet, supplemented with seeds and fruit/veggies. About 20% of their diet should be fresh fruit and vegetables. I hope that helps!
Just making some notes here: Big straight beaks = for fish Small straight beaks = insects Hooked = used for tearing things Straight beaks = used for catching things Hooked beaks belong on eagles, hawks, and owls. Hooked beaks are used for grabbing a part of a DEAD animal and tearing off a bite to eat. Hooked beaks is used by scavengers, and predatory birds. Coned: used for opening seeds / peeling the hard part off of seeds Coned beaks are on sparrows and finches. Long coned beaks allows for lots of leverage. ( Squeezes hard to crush the food ) Short coned beaks are for easily crushing the foods. Mixed beaks: on parrots and seagulls. Probably has multiple foods in their diet. Summary: Straight = catch Hook = tear Cone = open Mixed = combo
Dunnock birds are a mix of seed eating (cone) and insect-catching (straight) beaks. I had to look that one up because it's a mix of two shapes. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching, Liliy!
What kind of bird is it? If its natural diet would include nuts then *TINY* amounts of peanut butter should be okay. But remember that most peanut butter has added sugar and salt, and lots of fat. So it's not a healthy food. Birds get heart disease too. Hope that helps!
I really like the examples you use to help us further understand. Thank you!

I hope you learned something interesting, Penguin. Thanks for taking the time to learn about birds!
BioBush I learned how different bird beaks are capable for different things!
Is this video ok to use for distance learning?
I'm okay with it if you are streaming through UA-cam and not archiving/publishing the resulting class. Thank you for teaching about birds, Mary!
Sparrow birds eat breads too🍞
As grain-eaters, they CAN eat bread, but seeds match their nutritional needs better. Thank you for watching, Twister!
i had to see the vid for school

Great Video! I like the CA Thrasher. You should feature one in your next beak video, lol.

haha my chickens eat every thing, even tries to eat my pen if I am holding it, that's the explanation!

@@BioBush they do tare foods ,even vegetables, they tare it really fast!
@@user-yk4kv1pl3d Oh, cool! I just learned something new. Thanks! (PS - I'm working on on a video about the biology of chickens for the summer!)
What else do zebra dove eat? Since I cant feed them insects because I dont have them..

What about yellow bird

Thank you for watching, Shweta!
Just making some notes here:
Big straight beaks = for fish
Small straight beaks = insects
Hooked = used for tearing things
Straight beaks = used for catching things
Hooked beaks belong on eagles, hawks, and owls.
Hooked beaks are used for grabbing a part of a DEAD animal and tearing off a bite to eat.
Hooked beaks is used by scavengers, and predatory birds.
Coned: used for opening seeds / peeling the hard part off of seeds
Coned beaks are on sparrows and finches.
Long coned beaks allows for lots of leverage. ( Squeezes hard to crush the food )
Short coned beaks are for easily crushing the foods.
Mixed beaks: on parrots and seagulls. Probably has multiple foods in their diet.
Summary:
Straight = catch
Hook = tear
Cone = open
Mixed = combo
Writing notes is an excellent way to improve your own learning, but it helps others as well! Thanks for watching, Catzzlie! Keep up your good work!
What about a budgie?
Hi Frans! Budgies are little parrots, so a mixed beak (cone/hooked) used for eating parts of plants. Thanks for watching!
@@BioBush thx!
beautiful video
Thank you Charismatic Planet! There's a lot of interesting things to learn about birds. It helps that they're so photogenic!
The hawk image is actually an eagle.
We have a lab bird
That's cool. What kind? Thank you for taking the time to learn about birds!
What do Dunnock bird eat? QwQ
Dunnock birds are a mix of seed eating (cone) and insect-catching (straight) beaks. I had to look that one up because it's a mix of two shapes. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching, Liliy!
