I love the markings on this goose's bill and thought you might like to have a closer look too. SO PRETTY!!!! :D
Have you ever wondered when to use the term "beak" and when to use "bill"? Here's an explanation I got from the awesome folks over at
Birdforum.com! :)
“In Ornithology, ‘beak’ is the general term applicable to all birds; in ordinary language ‘beak’ is used for birds of prey, and generally when striking or pecking is in question. ‘Beak’ and ‘bill’ are both used for crows, finches, sparrows, perching birds and songbirds. ‘Bill’ is almost exclusively used for hummingbirds, pigeons, waders, and web-footed birds”.
