Mechanosensory structures in the beaks of probe-foraging birds in relation to their foraging ecology by du Toit, Carla J

“…However, various other palaeognathous birds (ostriches & emu) possess a bill-tip organ, though its function in these taxa is unknown. I show that all species of modern palaeognathous birds (including the extinct moa and elephant birds) have the same beak morphology (bony pits containing numerous mechanoreceptors). …”
