Cross Bill, We have frequently shot specimens 
of this beautiful bird in the neighbourhood of 
Ashburton during the summer months. They 
vary very much in their plumage, scarcely two 
of them being alike. This bird derives its name 
from the curious construction of the bill, which 
in some subjects crosses to the left, in others to 
the right. It does not breed in this country, 
but may be found occasionally from June to the 
end of the year.
