A shorebird with a curved beak is a bird that has a beak that curves upwards or downwards. The length and direction of the curve are built to accommodate various functions in hunting and fending for itself in its natural environment. Among the characteristics of fish-eating birds are their peculiar beaks.
For example, a marbled godwit is a large shore bird with curved bill and spindly legs. Its needlelike bill is two-toned, slightly curves upwards, and can poke through sand and mudflats as it scouts the coastal area for worms. The tip of its bill is black, and the remaining part is orange during breeding season and pink otherwise.
