Some people call them a "parrot beak" and you can see the resemblance in that one (although it looks more like a duck to me). There is no need for a big beak like that... I agree with Jeff, you could file a bit off the beak.

Mast-top hooks are a notorious source of difficulty, but if you can get everything just right they work fine, and when that is the case you hardly need any beak at all.
