Spoonbill Fun Fact: A fun fact about spoonbills is that their spoon-shaped bills aren’t just for show—they’re highly specialized for feeding! As they sweep their bills side-to-side through shallow water, the sensitive tips detect tiny prey like fish, insects, and crustaceans. Once they feel something, their bills snap shut quickly, helping them capture food with precision.
