    A birds mouth is designed to hold wall at a specific location.

    If u are cutting rafter without an overhang, u have to make a seat cut to sit on top of wall.

    A birds mouth that is cut from inside of wall will only weaken the rafter.

    A birds mouth that starts at inside of wall and is cut toward the ridge board serves no perpose.
