I have no idea why they are designed this way but they have got it to work for them.

Similar to Crossbills Ralph. They've adapted over time to get the seeds out of pine cones. I guess this is something similar.

From wiki:

"has a long, pale beak, which is used to dig for roots and seeds"

Hey @Ralph. I hope you're recovering ok. We get a few of these around here from time to time but mainly the little corellas.
