It's not all teeth.

With birds it's all beaks.

With birds it’s all beaks.

That's only for the last 100 million years. Before that it's all teeth too.

Birds had teeth 100 million years ago, then suddenly they didn't?

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago

Not suddenly, it likely took a few million years to lose them. But essentially, yes.

Here is an excellent video that explains why the non-beaked birds died out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1TanPmCckM
