Birds are without lips or teeth, the jaws being covered with horn, forming a beak. This varies greatly in shape, being extremely wide in the Whippoorwill, remarkably long in the Pelican, stout in the Eagle, and slender in the Hummer. It is hardest in those that tear or bruise their food, and softest in water-birds. The tongue is also cov- ered with a horny sheath, and generally spinous, its chief function being to secure the food when in the mouth. It is proportionally largest and most fleshy in the Parrots.
