what would cause the diffrent beaks in a speices of birds?
Its called adaptive radiation as told by Charles Darwin...The Australian marsupials are another fascinating example of this.
adaptation to different ways to get food that gives less competition
I found this on google ^_^ Different birds have different beaks because their beaks are designed to suit each birds' feeding habits and needs. For example, the spoonbill has a spoon shaped beak that helps it to scoop water plants, insect and small fish from rivers and lakes.
