The cardinal is found in parts of the US, mostly east of the rocky mountains. They live in forests and the vegetation near houses and gardens.Cardinal nests are cup-shaped, and made from twigs, and bark, and lined with grass and mosses.
Cardinals eat seeds, fruits, insects, and grains. They can often be found at bird feeders.
Female cardinals lay four eggs, that hatch in about 12 days. They have about two broods a year. Babies fledge within 20 days.
