The Ordinary Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It breeds in the spruce forests of North America, where it is known as Red Crossbill, as well as Europe and Asia; some populations (possibly different species) breed in pine forests in particular areas of all three continents, and in North America, also in Douglas-fir. It nests in conifers, laying 3–5 eggs.
