I had to have a tooth out. I envy birds and their beaks, especially parrot beaks. They can do everything we can and more. A parrot beak is very versatile. Parrots can deal with any sort of food, can crack nuts and get into all sorts of things, preen all sizes of feathers. Parrots can talk, whistle, make all sorts of sounds, use them to climb around. Their beaks can be very gentle and of course also very strong and best of all they keep growing. Not forgetting of course - parrots can kiss each other. As far as I can tell beaks have the advantage.

Jane I totally agree. I had to have an implant a few years ago (that included an extraction) and of course every dental visit I dreaded like the plague. Before leaving every day I would tell Ruby how lucky she was to have a beak and not teeth!

If you put your finger in a grey's mouth and feel inside the upper mandible, you can feel a ridge which I refer to as "teeth". When Chy is content, she likes to grind her "teeth".
Chy kisses me with her tongue like a cat or dog.

Apparently there is money in famous teeth. I read in the paper that one of Edward VIII's wisdom teeth is to be auctioned on Tuesday by the family of the dentist who removed it. It was removed in 1940, four years after his abdication and marriage to Wallis Simpson. It is expected to fetch £10,000 Jane

Beakertrout haha!!!
Yeah, their beaks are really amazing. No dental cleaning needed. Can you imagine a group of humans with beaks around a dinner table. Eating nicely, then when dinner is finished, everyone shakes their beaks flinging crumbs and food everywhere!!
