As I can see Perisoreus infaustus is a resident of Scandinavia, and it belongs to corvidae...My old Collins book has a good drawing of it Cerinthe Lives at coniferous forests of taiga, mainly of spruce, also among birches and in winter on outskirts of human settlements..Climbs out to tips of pine branches to feed on cones (30,5cm) I Just copy it from the book It doesn't mean I understand all the words __________________

May it looks strange but in Greece they fixed the exact common names of birds recently (LOL It's over 20 years) Before that the few birdwathers prefered to use the scientific names to understand each other, as the most of them were scientists (me the exception lol)...So I learnt them...It 's funny but for me they are easier...as many of them have a greek or latin root, for example corax is the name of this bird in accient and modern greeks 
Well done Barry and thank you Fani for suggesting this!
Scientific names are important to those of us who don't know the birds of other countries, if only because you can get much more information from search engines, such as Google, by typing in the Sc name than from common names as these often differ in different countries or states.
