This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. Presented is the data for beak heat loss, as a percent of total body heat loss from all sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius.
