Few birds have such an unusual beak as the crossbill: the upper and lower halves of the beak cross each other! Such a beak is an extremely effective tool for extracting seeds from pine and fir cones. Crossbills are finch-like birds, which stay in the Netherlands mainly during migration time and in winter. Crossbills often stick together in groups. They can be recognized by a deep, undulating flight, forked tail tip and "tipping" sound. If a group of crossbills settles in trees, they can usually be spotted at the top of the crown, hanging from pine or spruce cones in search of food. Those looking for a pool of water in the area may be lucky enough to see one or more crossbills drinking there.
