| From the book ` The birds of the British Isles and their eggs` 1928 edition. The crossbill is a genus, Loxia, of birds in the finch family, with six species. These birds are characterised by the mandibles with crossed tips, which gives the group its English name. Adult males tend to be red or orange in colour, and females green or yellow, but there is much variation. |
