Organizing and summarizing search results for youThe culmen is a measurement of a bird's beak, specifically the upper mandible. It is measured in a straight line from the tip of the beak to a set point, such as where the feathering starts on the bird's forehead. For example, the culmen size of a male pileated woodpecker ranges from 43 to 56 mm. The size of the culmen can vary significantly among different bird species.3 Sources - See more

The upper margin of the beak or bill is referred to as the culmen. The measurement is taken using calipers with one jaw at the tip of the upper mandible and the other at the base of the bill (at the junction with the skull, a measurement called "total culmen") or where the feathers begin (a measurement called "exposed … See more

Although beaks vary significantly in size and shape from species to species, their underlying structures have a similar pattern. All beaks are composed of two jaws, generally known as the maxilla (upper) and mandible (lower). The upper, and in some cases the lower, mandibles are strengthened internally by a complex three-dimensional network of bony spicules (or trabeculae) seated in soft
