Question

What type of bird has a very thin pointed beak?
A. Honey sucking
B. Pollen eating
C. Carnivore
D. Seed eater

Answer 1

Hint: An external anatomical structure seen predominantly in birds, but also in non-avian dinosaurs and some mammals, is the beak, bill, and/or rostrum. Beaks have various uses which includes eating, killing prey, fighting, probing for food, courtship, and feeding the young. Although beaks differ in size, shape, color, and texture, they all have the same basic anatomy.

Complete answer:
Option A Honey sucking : To suck honey from the interior parts of blooms, honey sucking birds require long, pointed beaks. Every bird species has a beak that is designed to help them acquire, handle, and consume their specific foods.
Since honey sucking birds have thin pointed beaks, option A is the correct answer.
Option B Pollen eating : Birds do not eat pollen but they help in the process of pollination. The pollination of flowering plants by birds is called ornithophily or bird pollination. All over the world, the birds are very important pollinators of the wildflowers.
Since birds do not eat pollen, option B is not correct.
Option C Carnivore : The beaks of owls and birds of prey, like this golden eagle, are robust and deeply hooked. It has sharp cutting edges that allow it to tear through prey and slash through skin or flesh.
Hence option C is not correct.
Option D Seed eater : Seed-eaters, like this Gouldian Finch, have short, cone-shaped beaks that are ideal for pecking seeds.
Since seed eaters do not have thin pointed beaks, option D is not correct.
Answer : A. Honey sucking

Option A is the correct answer.

Note:
Despite the fact that beaks vary in size and shape from species to species, their underlying structures follow a similar pattern. The upper mandible (or maxilla) and lower mandible (or mandible) are the two jaws that make up every beak (or mandible). Internally, a complex three-dimensional network of bony spicules (or trabeculae) located in soft connective tissue and encircled by the hard outer layers of the beak strengthens the upper, and in certain cases, lower mandibles.
