Why is the northern cardinal special?

          Remember Red from the video game Angry Birds? Most of us would have laughed at its angry, yet funny face and its wrath on the pigs at one point or the other. Red resembles the northern cardinal. Commonly known as the red bird or common cardinal, they have a bright red plumage and a pointed crest.

         The northern cardinal is a territorial song bird. Instead of fighting with pigs and monkeys like Red and his team, in reality, the male cardinal sits on a high location and whistles loud and clear to defend its territory. It’s rarely aggressive and when angry, it fights to defend its territory. It is a medium sized bird that feeds on seeds buds and berries. Occasionally it feasts on insects as Well.
