The beak does look very strange! Thank you for explaining that it helps them to open cones. I had not seen an image of this bird before! A beautiful capture Tom!

Not the best of angles but this way it beautifully shows the unique bill. Light and moss covered twigs help to project a warm feeling.

Fine shot of the 'bird with messed-up mouth', Tom! I often wonder why Mother Nature does some things but I'm sure she had a good reason. Vote
Best to you,
