The tooth-like projections in the back of a bird's throat or on the roof of its mouth are called choanal papillae (or oral papillae).

What They Do:

Guide food: They help push food and water down the esophagus.

Protect breathing: They act as a barrier to keep food and liquid from entering the nasal cavity and windpipe while swallowing.

Grip prey: In some species, they provide a secure grip on slippery food or wriggling prey
