Genus Loxia, commonly known as Crossbills, is a group of small to medium-sized passerine birds. While not all members of this genus have a common name, some species are referred to as Red Crossbill, White-winged Crossbill, or Parrot Crossbill. These birds are famous for their uniquely crossed bills, which are adapted for feeding on conifer cones. Other characteristics include their irregular migration patterns and their preference for evergreen forests. Although there are several species within the genus Loxia, scientists continue to debate their exact number due to interbreeding and variations in plumage coloration. Nonetheless, these birds are widely admired for their curious appearance and specialized feeding habits.
