STEAM Connections: Beaks at the Bird Buffet
A bird’s beak is a bony elongation of its skull that is covered in keratin, the same material that makes up your hair and fingernails. Birds use their beaks as tools: to gather food, groom their feathers, defend themselves, and build their nests. Let use everyday objects to explore how bird beaks work. See how much food you are able to pick up with your beak and move to your stomach in 30 seconds. Remember to pick up only one piece of food at a time!
