Crossbills have a distinctive and unique beak that is crossed at the tips, allowing them to easily extract seeds from conifer cones. The upper mandible is longer and curved, overlapping the lower mandible. This specialized shape helps them access hard-to-reach seeds, making them well-adapted to their diet. Their beak coloration can vary, often seen in shades of red, yellow, or orange, depending on the species and age.
