Red Cardinal in Winter

Red cardinal

Cardinals are monogamous birds whose relationships 

are harmonious and romantic with musical quips

The male and female sing duets to one another

calling similar songs out to each other

Both male and female Northern Cardinals sing, from a trees thistles

With a sound that’s a loud string of clear two-parted whistles, 

songs last 2 to 3 seconds with a cheer, cheer, cheer

or birdie, birdie, birdie can be heard very clear

Males, in particular, may sing throughout the year

the peak of singing is in spring and when early summers near

at least 16 different calls for the Northern Cardinal bird

  a loud, metallic chip is the one most commonly heard

Cardinals make this call when warning off intruders 

to their territory

Or when predators are near, loud enough for the females to leave in a hurry

Sometimes they sing as they carry food to the nest 

or when trying to get nestlings to leave the nest, so they can rest

The Cardinal is a beautiful bird with a red glow

Especially on a tree filled with a soft white snow
