Bird "teeth"?

I took this picture last year. It's a young robin.

What are those "teeth"?

Do all birds have them?

Good shot,!

But they are not "Teeth" these are soft protrusions on the roof of all birds mouths,to enable them to swallow their food.

Hope this gives you the answer.

Falcons have two teeth, the tomial tooth is on iether side of the falcons beak and is used of breaking the necks of it's prey.

Also all baby birds hatch with an egg tooth, this is used to break through the internal mambrane in the egg and break out of the shell

Hehe.
Birds don't have teeth.
those things allow the bird to swallow food with out chocking.
Birds do not have teeth to chew their food, therefore they have to take small amounts at a time.
