   I have asked and have seen others ask about the way chickens daintily wipe their beaks off after eating. I discovered that other birds do it, too, and there is a word for it: http://polloplayer.wordpress.com/2014/11/22/fowl-words/

   Feek? The common term I thought was "bill wiping".

   Well of course that would make sense, but since some have beaks and some have bills, "feek" covers the gamut and is, I suppose, the King's English, if that counts for anything.
