Or is that just something Cheerio does? I've never seen his mouth completely closed. Ever! Just various degrees of open. Which makes sense because I doubt he can breathe through those tiny nares! Just wondering if that's normal or if the nares should be a bit more open. I've never paid attention to it before with other toos so I have no idea.

Do U2s always have their mouths open?

Truely has her mouth open pretty much all of the time. (She takes after her Mother 
)

They can close them but many do leave them open a bit. Now sure why. Just a quirk I guess.

Some of them have their beaks closed but most are open a crack. Good observations.

ALL of my 'toos leave their beak partially open. And I like to poke at their tongues 
Ofcourse they do close them when they feel like it.
One thing though, most U2s, even if their beaks are open, still breathe through their nares. Put a feather floofy over one of their nostrils or (and if you 'too has a bunch of nose hair/feathers) you can see the feathers move.

Mine two are usually closed. When someone is around or something is going on they hold them open.
