My attention was drawn to this bird because I thought it had an exceptionally long beak, it was only when I took the photo's that I realised it was crossed.

Happily, I can report that he/she seems to have adapted to it quite nicely by tilting his/her head to one side when eating.

Hi Nature Lover,

Poor little mite probably flew into a window when younger, lots of members here have written about birds with damaged beaks caused by window strikes.:mad:
