  • Comment from author about the poem: The NORTHERN CARDINAL is one of the USA's favorite bird and has been adopted as their State Brid by seven States (see poem). It is common in the Eastern States of the USA from Maine to Texas. It is a songbird 9 inches long and a wing span of 11 inches. It ha a cone shaped beak an 90% of its diet is seeds. They mate for life and can live up to 15 years in the wild. The male collects the material for the nest and the female builds it ! It is now illegal to keep them as cage birds. The photo shows how elegant ~ in its red & black plumage ~ the Male Cardinal really is ! Comments welcome ~ Love to All ~ BRIAN XOX

                Such a magnificent colour shouts from the feathers of cardinal birds - we have nothing to match it here in the U.K. for vivid and very elegant coating. No wonder the states voted this wonder in as their own State Songster.

                • BRIAN & ANGELA

                  THANKS FAY ~ Yes indeed it is a magnificent sight in the wild ! However when I travel abroad I never really experience the density of birds we get in our gardens and parks in the UK. They may be a bit drab but there is plenty of variety and twitching is a growing hobby ! Yours B.
