Head of the grosbeak. Antique engraved illustration of the grosbeak. Vintage illustration of the grosbeak. Old engraved picture of the bird. Grosbeak is a form taxon containing various species of seed-eating passerine birds with large beaks. Although they all belong to the superfamily Passeroidea, these birds are not part of a natural group but rather a polyphyletic assemblage of distantly related songbirds. Some are cardueline finches in the family Fringillidae, while others are cardinals in the family Cardinalidae one is a member of the weaver family Ploceidae. The word grosbeak , first applied in the late 1670s, is a partial translation of the French grosbec, where gros means large and bec means beak . The following is a list of grosbeak species, arranged in groups of closely related genera. These genera are more closely related to smaller-billed birds than to other grosbeaks. The single exception are the three genera of typical grosbeak finches , which form a group of closest living relatives and might thus be considered the true grosbeaks.
