FEMALE AND MALE RED CARDINALS |
Catching Up with the Red Cardinals
These beauty birds always add a splash of Red to your Gardens
by attracting these flashy fliers.
I thought I would come back to one of my favorite winter birds,
the Red Cardinal. I think I've done a few posts on these beautiful
Birds. However, this time I have some secret hints on how to attract
these flashy Red fliers into your Backyards, Gardens or
Even small porches like my!
First I thought I would give a little more description on these
amazing winter birds. These are Northern birds, lively bright
and amazing songsters too. They are about 9 inches in length and
are very easy to spot. These of course are the males with their
scarlet plumage red bodies, Long-tail, crested head that is in both
The male and female Red Cardinals.
However, the females are a little more reddish-tan much less
Showy than the males.
What's on the Menu?
Cardinals aren't picky about their food or even
How you offer it to them.
They happen to be frequent backyard visitors,
stopping at all kinds of feeders. However, these lovely birds eat
mostly fruits form plants and seeds too.
These will supplement the Cardinals diet with insects plus bugs
To feed on in their nests.
If you put up a feeder for the Cardinals
fill it up with Sunflower Seeds.
Also having your garden with Fruit bearing Plants
such as the
Sumac, Hackberry, Dogwood,[more disease resistant which
includes the Cardinal' bright red twigs - Cheyenne' which are
Dark red twigs of the Dogwood.
are three very good fruit bearing plants
That will keep them happy.
There is also the
Holly, and the Winterberry too!
I will try an put a image of each of these fruit bearing plants
for you so that you will know what to look for.
Perfect in Pairs
These birds are generally always come in pairs, kinda like the dove birds.
So if you happen to spot a male, chances are his mate
is nearby. Especially in breeding season. This is one of the few
species whose female will sing. A pair of red cardinals might even share
song phrases, using them to communicate at nesting time-breeding
or just to keep in touch where each other is.
Cardinal Counterpart
The pyrrhuloxia, sometimes called the desert Cardinal. Why? because
they can be found in the Southwest and has the same impressive crest
on the top of their head as the Northern Cardinals.
Although the coloring is just a bit different though,
the males are mostly gray with red accents. As for the females they
are mostly all gray with just a little red accents.
Cardinals do not migrate so if you happen to have some in your
area do Enjoy them they will stay year around if you have the
Right type of food...
Well I hope that You Enjoy this Saturday
post my dear Friends & Followers
I will included a few photos of the type of fruit bush and trees,
and where these birds live. Plus an few images of the
birds themselves and there nesting together.
They are quite a caring bird for each other and you
can see that in the photo's. I had wished that these beauty's
