Want to know my special autism interested? Well my friend, let me talk to you about birds. Birds are very interesting, they have everything from different beak types to different feet. I have found these diagrams as reference

:D a beak type not really included in the diagrams belong to Psittaciformes, as they eat seeds, fruit, nuts and sometimes insects. Their beaks most closely resembles a meat eaters and I believe that's for ripping the skin of fruit, tho the shape could also help crack open nuts :D

My favourite births are the Aussie crow, cockateil and scarlet macaw, but I just love birds.

I also love the extinct bird haasts eagle (Hieraaetus moorei), it's a very big bird (up to 10 ft wingspan) and according to the Pouākai myths it would swoop and kill humans, the moa is one of their main food sources and after they went extinct they would go after the next biggest creatures and due to there being no mammals in NZ that would be humans so that's probably true.

Birbs :D

Haast's eagle

Haast's eagle (Hieraaetus moorei), sometimes known as Fuller's eagle, is an extinct species of eagle that lived in the South Island of New Zealand, commonly accepted to be the pouākai of Māori mythology. It is the largest eagle known to have existed, with an estimated weight of 10–18 kilograms (22–40 pounds), compared to the next-largest and extant harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja), at up to 9 kg (20 lb). Its massive size is explained as an evolutionary response to the size of its primary prey—the flightless moa—the largest of which could weigh 200 kg (440 lb). Haast's eagle became extinct around 1445, following the arrival of the Māori, who hunted moa to extinction, introduced the Polynesian rat (Rattus exulans), and destroyed large tracts of forest by fire.
