Description of Coloring Page: bird, wings, feathers, Red Crossbill hanging upside down from a fir branch, cone seed
The red crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae, also known as the common crossbill
in Eurasia. Crossbills have distinctive mandibles, crossed at the tips,
which enable them to extract seeds from conifer cones and other fruits.
Adults are often brightly coloured, with red or orange males and
green or yellow females, but there is wide variation in colour, beak
size and shape, and call types, leading to different classifications of
variants, some of which have been named as subspecies. Read more...
