Maybe it's because of his brilliant red colour or because of his fiery personality and distinct song, the male northern cardinal is a favourite for many bird lovers.
Cool Cardinal Fact: Yellow, orange, or red pigments found naturally in plants are responsible for the characteristic red coloration exhibited in the feathers of male birds. These pigments, known as carotenoids, cannot be manufactured within the bird’s body but must be ingested by eating plant material containing the pigments or insects that have fed on colorful plants themselves.
