The beak, also known as a bill, is an external anatomical structure of birds, which serves as their mouthpart. It is made up of an upper and a lower mandible, covered by a horny sheath of keratin known as the rhamphotheca. The shape and size of beaks vary greatly among bird species and are adapted to their feeding habits, such as cracking seeds, catching fish, or probing flowers for nectar.
