The crossbill really has a different bill. Good for what it eats however, opening those pine cones. They are still coming to the deck. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
The European Crossbills are found mainly on the north west coast of Scotland here in the UK. They inhabit the coniferous forests where there are plenty of cones for them to feed on. The gaelic name for them is Cam-ghob which simply means crooked bill and your photograph clearly shows how they got the name.
