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.

Some kind of can. But not really the same way.
