What does CERE mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
The soft, waxy patch of skin at the base of the upper beak in birds such as parrots and birds of prey.
The cere sits where the beak meets the head and often holds the nostrils; in many birds of prey and parrots its colour changes with age, health or sex, so bird keepers and ornithologists use it to judge a bird's condition. In falcons the cere is commonly yellow, while colour and texture vary between species and individuals.
