As any bird will tell you, "the Nose knows"

While yours are just ignored while you wait for your bailout, birds' bills are used as tools to find and gather food, to peck wood, to sift water, to carry nest material and to mouth off if the TV's on too loud.

Darwin used the bills of birds to help identify species and determine their relationships. Different bills may indicate different types of food resources or where a bird was found in its environment. Hummingbird bills are perfectly designed to draw nectar from flowers. Crossbills can pry apart the scales of pine cones while their tongues extract the seeds. Finches and grosbeaks are great seed crackers. The long bill of the American woodcock lets it probe soft soil for insects.

The function of the bill of "the Great Schnozzola" remains unexplained.
