🌿 Cardinal Love

🌿 Do you have cardinals in your neighborhood? A lovely family lives in our backyard, and they sing and dance from tree-to-tree. Sometimes they even perch on the hedges and peek inside our windows as if to say, "Hello, in there! Would you like to be friends?" 

Cardinals mate for life and share parenting duties. They live in the same area year-round. Baby cardinals learn to fly after only a week or two, then stay with their parents for another 1-2 months. Some live up to 15 years, but a three to five year lifespan is more typical. 

To attract cardinals, plant yellow flowers and put out safflower and sunflower seeds. They are grateful and will remember your kindness.
