"'Celtic' crossbills differ in bill size from other crossbill species found in Britain, and just like native Scots, they have also been found to have a distinct Scottish accent or call, thought to be the method used by the birds to make sure they only attract and pair with potential mates of the same species.
Although the British Ornithologists Union has classed the Scottish crossbill as a separate and distinct species since 1980, many ornithologists, including those in the RSPB have always reserved judgement on this notion, believing there was insufficient scientific research for its formal acceptance."
Hope this helps!

There is that crossbilled finch that has a specialised beak to get the seeds out of pine cones. I think it doesn't occur anywhere else but Scotland. I found a link.

It is the "Celtic" or Scottish crossbill. Here is a link to the page that discusses the findings by the RSPB

Hope this answers your question.

Loxia scotica, commonly known as the Scottish crossbill, is on the verge of being proclaimed the nation's only unique species.

Between Dundee F and Dundee Flower, this site is being bombarded with idiot questions from Yahoo trying to drum up for support for the visit of the bus to that city.
Imagine this being your job!
