The Northern Cardinal
Basics: Male Cardinals are easily spotted by their red plumage while female cardinals have lovely red highlights in their fawn colored feathers.
Housing: Enclosed housing may not be appealing to this species. Platform housing is best for Cardinals. The planting of thick berry producing plants and evergreens are also very beneficial for this species to roost and nest in.
Food: Black Oil Sunflower seeds, and safflower seeds are two of their favorite foods!
How to attract: Provide food, water, shelter, and nesting sites!
Fact: Keeping warm bodies is a number one priority during winter, a snug place to roost overnight is just as important as a full belly.
Tip: Choose larger, heavier feeders that will not sway, or placing feeders on sturdy poles rather than hanging them to provide more stability when cardinals are feeding.
