This week we have a beak that specializes in using tools, by breaking ostrich eggs with a small rock. This bird, once known as "Pharoh's Chicken," was the symbol of the ancient Egyptian goddess, Nekhbet.
Unlike most raptors, this bird doesn't use its talons to carry nesting material, preferring to use its beak instead.
Good luck solving the riddle of this week's mystery beak!
