Long Red Crest Male Cardinal

True Wildlife | Cardinal | Cardinals are among North America's most popular songbirds. Male cardinals are known by their brilliant red feathers and majestic crested heads. Female cardinals, while also beautiful, sport a more subtle dull reddish color. Cardinals are very eager to dine at most any available bird feeder. They will visit your feeder starting early in the morning and they'll keep returning to it well into the evening.

Since cardinals dine early in the morning and late in the evening, they have plenty of time for entertaining you by singing all day long while the other birds are taking their turns at your bird feeder.

FOOD:
    Sunflower seeds are a favorite food for Cardinals. They will usually sift through the entire mixture of see to get to every sunflower seed before starting in on the other seeds. They also enjoy white proso millet and safflower seeds when they can't get sunflower seeds.
