How do Birds eat? Now there is a simple question that most kids in pre-school are likely to answer very simply. With their Mouths.

Then comes the inquisitive one in the bunch who says how come they have such funny mouths? What follows next is observing and drawing the bills and-or beaks of as many birds as they can see or have photos of: The flat duck shaped bills, the huge curved bills of flamingos, the hooked bills of hawks and eagles and shrikes, the cone shaped bills of sparrows and cardinals and grosbeaks and the long skinny hummingbird bills.
