Beak(s)
Do birds have one or two beaks?
Is it correct to say:
"A white dove carrying an olive branch inbetween its beaks is the traditional symbol of peace."

THANK YOU.

Christine Christie Is it correct to say: No. The dove holds an olive branch in its beak. There are scientific names for the two parts of a bird's bill, but nobody knows them without looking them up.
