Scientists have been examining the jaws of the pufferfish, which has evolved over millions of years to form a beak. Pufferfish use these to break open the shells of molluscs and crabs.
Beaks are more "robust and practical", according to Dr Gareth Fraser, lead researcher.
Another theory states that, in the future, human beings will develop the ability to endlessly replace their teeth, to have an unlimited supply, not unlike sharks.

Finally, when someone calls me a pecker they’ll have good reason.

My Sun Conure would love that. When she is moulting, which seems to be continuous, I don't have any way to really help preen her. Fingernails pinch and pull.
Recommend highly as a pet as I have not read any accounts of them being shot during police actions....yet.

This is true. Have you seen all the duck face pics on social networking sites?

The government will push this development so that when times are tough, we poor citizens can all go peck **** with the chickens!

I have a theory, too. Given millions of years, perhaps Dr. Gareth Fraser will evolve beyond his pin-shaped head.

That’s post shaved beak Babs-— not so bad of a protruding probiscus in that pic.
