Bizarre! Other than bill it looks in excellent health + doesn't look like it's having trouble finding food to eat. |

Blimey-perhaps it's adapted to prize open pine cones! 
We seem to be getting a few species with this deformity show up now. 
It does look in fair nick so it must be managing.

Well spotted - I reckon that's what happens when a naughty young bird eats too many Crossbill eggs/chicks
