    Aw, I love Cardinals, feed the ones in my yard everyday. Years ago I had one that was very friendly and I named him Angelo. One morning I heard Angelo screaming because a large bird, a falcon or a hawk, was attacking his nest. I got up and ran outside and started throwing rocks toward the bird to scare it off. I was able to save Angelos nest. A short time later, about two weeks, he came to my picnic table and tapped on the window. And then he proudly presented his son to me, The one I had saved in the nest the day the bird of prey came. Angelo was so proud to show him to me and say thank you. These birds know a lot more than people may realize. They are highly intelligent, sensitive, aware, and they love very deeply.

      I have a friendly male Cardinal as well that keeps coming to me for the past several years. All the other cardinals in my area are shy, especially the females but this one in particular has a fondness for peanuts (he will take shelled or if in the shell, I just crack the tip and he's able to carry it off to his favourite bush to open and eat). He comes to my window ledges throughout the house to get my attention and even finds me when I venture to the mailbox or take short walks in the area. They all seem to have different personalities. His personality reminds me more of a blue jay in how much he's interested in interacting with humans. They're just such pretty birds!

    I think cardinals mate for life, and their always together. Another unique trait too watch is when the Male feeds the female.

    I have them everyday in my backyard. Males and females. They come to eat from my bird feeder. They only approach if they feel secure. Those big black male eyes can spot any movement even from inside our house and fly away. They are absolutely beautiful to watch and we have had many opportunities to take pics. I love birds...

    When I used to practice photography, Cardinals were so difficult for me to capture. Even at a distance, they would fly away after just a moment. I live in st. Louise Missouri btw, so they seemed to be around at least part of the year.

    OK, I JUST witnessed THREE females and ONE male in close proximity of our bird feeder. 2 of the females were on the ground shaking their booties while the male hopped back and forth between them. The third female was directly above the action inside the feeder chomping down on seed and couldn’t care less.
