Predominantly found in North America, Northern Cardinals are beloved for their brilliant red, yellow, or blue plumages, predominantly observed in breeding males. Most species are monogamous breeders, constructing open-cup nests where parents take turns incubating and caring for their young. These vibrant red birds are often seen as uplifting, happy signs. Fun fact: Northern Cardinals are celebrated for their striking plumage and symbolism of happiness and remembrance.
