different from the delicate dipping beak of a
hummingbird.

about the special functions performed by different
bird beaks?

Communication – Sounds And Gestures
My husband and I were walking in the woods the
other morning and we saw a weed that had been
pulled up by the roots and left lying in the trail.
I said to my husband, "I wonder why they
didn't…" and then I made a sound with
my teeth and my lower lip that sounded something
like "ffftttt" and flung my right hand
out to the side. My husband understood perfectly
that I was wondering why the person who pulled
up the weed didn't toss it off to the side of
the trail.

with one another with sounds that aren't words
at all?
