Would you use a fork to eat soup or a spoon to cut a steak? The kind of food we eat determines the utensils we use. Birds work the same way, but instead of forks and spoons, they rely on their beaks.

Join Park Interpreters to discover how different beak shapes help birds eat different kinds of food at our “Bird Beak Buffet.”

Look for the park table in the picnic area.
