Relating to or describing birds that have cone-shaped beaks designed for cracking and eating seeds.
From Latin 'conus' (cone) + 'rostrum' (beak) + '-al' (relating to). Ornithological adjective describing beak morphology.
The term 'conirostral' helped scientists classify birds systematically—two birds that look completely different might both be 'conirostral' because their beaks have evolved the same cone shape to solve the same problem: cracking tough seeds.
