Crossbill

Tweet of the Day : The Crossbill : Is a  bird of the finch family. These birds are characterised by the mandibles with crossed tips, which gives the group its English name…Crossbill.  Adult males tend to be red or orange in colour, and females green or yellow, but there is much variation.

Crossbills are specialist feeders on conifer cones, and the unusual bill shape is an adaptation which enables them to extract seeds from cones.
