Beak is one of the important parts of a bird's body. The shape and size of the beak vary greatly among different bird species, each adapted to their feeding needs and lifestyle. Some birds have exceptionally long beaks, which provide certain advantages in hunting, foraging, or communication. The diversity in the shape and size of these beaks shows how each bird species has adapted to survive and reproduce in different environments. Let's take a look at the following 10 birds with the longest beaks in the world!

1. Burung Kolibri Berparuh Pedang<br>

1. Sword-Billed Hummingbird

Like storks, pelicans are water birds with long beaks, but their beaks are equipped with expandable pouches.

3. Fan-tailed Gerygone

"Birds with plump and small bodies are also marsh birds that can be found throughout Europe and Asia. These birds have brown and yellowish feathers and short tails, as well as the longest beak among any coastal birds. Not only that, the tip of their beak is also flexible for searching mud and finding worms or other small animals. These birds also have an advantage because their eyes are located near the top of their heads."

4. Toucan Toco Bird

4. Toucan Toco Bird

The beak of the toco toucan is not only long, but also large. Its orange-colored beak with a black tip makes this bird famous. The beak of the toucan bird appears too heavy to carry around, but it is lightweight, hollow, and serrated. The toucan bird's beak is the largest beak with a body surface area among all birds, although the sword-billed hummingbird's beak surpasses it in body length. The beak of the toucan bird serves to keep it cool and is always useful for catching hard-to-reach fruits or prey.

5. Burung Scythebill Berparuh Merah<br>

5. Red-beaked Scythebill Bird

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Bird with its usual reddish-brown feathers attracts attention because its beak, which is appropriately named, is long, red, and shaped like a sickle. This bird is a type of woodpecker found in the forests of South America.

Its body has a zebra stripe pattern, which will appear as black and white stripes on its wings and tail when the bird is flying. Meanwhile, its long beak is used to search for small lizards and insects."
