Summary

[edit]
Description

I had seen several birds Bill-Wipe for various reasons. Raptors do that to clean their beak after eating food. Smaller birds often do that maybe to hone their bills / beaks. The Baya Weaver wasn't here after a meal, so I guess it was honing the beak, making it strong and keeping it in shape. Without this, it is thought that the Bills (Short Beaks) made up of protein / Keratin can go out of shape.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
