A bunch of birds have prehensile beaks; it just means “grasping”. Macaws, parrots, and cockatoos for example.

I’m sorry I still don’t totally understand. I don’t mean to be dumb, I just really wish they labeled the different parts.

I looked closely at it, comparing it to the pigeon currently nesting in our windowbox, and I can definitely say they do not look the same.

How does this make more sense? They can’t bend their beaks the same way we can bend our thumb and finger

Touch the tip of your index (also known as fore finger)to the tip of your thumb. There is no bending involved and you can generate a decent amount of force and pick things up that way.
