New Zealand Birds | Birds | Gallery | Wrybill, Anarhynchus frontalis Among New Zealand’s many bird curiosities, writes Edgar Stead, the wry-billed plover is often not included, but it certainly ought to be, for it is the only bird in the world which has its bill bent sideways. The crossbills of the Northern Hemisphere might claim that they share in this distinction, but their bills are symmetrical, the upper mandible being bent one way, and the lower, the other.
