What is a "cardinal"?

A cardinal, also known as the Northern Cardinal, is a strikingly beautiful bird native to North America. The male Cardinal is particularly notable for its vibrant plumage, bright red feathers, and distinctive crest on its head. The female, while less vivid in color, still displays a lovely combination of reddish hues with touches of brown. Cardinals are medium-sized songbirds with strong beak that is perfectly adapted for cracking seeds and nuts. Their melodious and rich whistling songs can often be heard in woodlands, gardens, and parks, adding a delightful touch to the surrounding environment.

They are known to be territorial birds and can be observed fiercely defending their feeding areas and nesting sites.
