The '''beak''' is the hardened external mouthpiece of all species of [[bird]]. It is mainly used for eating, but can also be used for grooming and manipulating the outside world. The shape of a bird's beak is determined by what its primary function is. For example, [[hawk]]s and [[owl]]s have sharp, curved beaks designed for tearing at flesh, while [[hummingbird]]s have long slender beaks designed to be inserted into [[flowers]].
