Famous for their vivid red plumage and melodious songs, male cardinals are particularly striking due to their bright coloration, while females exhibit a more subdued shade of brown with hints of red. These birds are non-migratory, meaning they stay in their habitats year-round. Cardinals are admired not only for their beauty but also for their vigorous singing and behaviors during mating season, which include song duets between couples and feeding each other seeds. Predominantly seed-eaters, they also feed on fruits and insects, adapting well to bird feeders, which makes them frequent visitors in both urban and rural settings. The cardinal has significant cultural relevance, representing faith, hope, and love in various cultures, and is the state bird for seven U.S. states.
