  1. Birds have not teeth  


  2. No teeth, but some birds have serrated bills which can feel like tiny little teeth.  

  3. I doubt it!!!!

  4. yes, there are many kinds but they are all extinct. They died out with the dinosaurs

    examples:

    Archeopteryx

    Hesporinis

    icthyornis


  5. About 80 million years ago, birds lost their teeth. Yet 80 million years of mutations have not erased the bird's ability to form teeth, even though there has been no selective pressure to maintain teeth

    The reason that birds lost their teeth is that in forming a beak, the two tissues that 'talk' to each other to make a tooth become separated. They can't have the conversation to make a tooth. In the mutant, these tissues are brought back together.

  6. No, their jaws are not heavy enough to support teeth.  Besides, when beaks can tear flesh, grip fish, crack nuts, probe mud for worms, catch insects, drink nectar, and eat grass, who needs teeth?
