Spear Beaks

Other Beak Styles
Of course, lots of other types of beaks exist. Pelicans are famous for their pouched beaks that hold up to 9 gallons of water and fish. Woodpeckers are known for their chisel beaks that peck holes into trees in the search of insects living beneath the bark. Because crows eat just about anything, including carrion, nuts and seeds, fruit, fish and insects, they have what can perhaps best be described as the Swiss Army knife of beaks, adapted to doing whatever they need them for.
