No doubt it's because they mainly eat birds and need the extended length to hold a prey item covered in feathers? I'm always amazed at the length of their teeth. Similiar in size I imagine to a GTP?

That was actually one of the old theories until someone realised (and tested) that bird's feathers are not different to rat's fur when it comes to penetration with teeth. By the way, GTPs don't eat MAINLY birds.
