5 reasons why i love cardinals... and you should too The cardinal is one of the most recognized birds in North America, often spotted on holiday cards and backyard feeders alike. Some people think this bird is too common to get excited about, but I think that's exactly why it deserves more love, and here are five reasons why. When you put it all together, cardinals are familiar without being boring, beautiful in ways that go beyond just bright red feathers, surprisingly musical on both sides of the pair, gentle with each other in a way that feels almost human, and meaningful to people in a way very few birds ever become. They're proof that you don't need to travel far or look for something rare to find a bird worth appreciating. Sometimes the most special birds are the ones already living right outside your window. #northerncardinals #backyard #backyardbirds #cardinals #cardinalbirds
