- I am not certain that there is only one bird that fits this description. One bird that pops into my head is the pink flamingo. I have seen these birds with large, curved beaks … digging in the mud for what food they can find there. Birds such as blue herons do not have the same beaks as the pink flamingos. The herons' beaks are long and thin, being suited only to catch fish as they swim past, not burrow in the mud.
