Cardinal Red
We have a charming family of cardinals living in our backyard, and they're truly my role models! Just like us, cardinals are monogamous and usually mate for life. It's so sweet to see how both parents share the responsibilities of feeding and caring for their little ones. The female does most of the nest-building while the male gathers and delivers the materials. Once the chicks hatch, both parents stick together to help them learn to feed themselves.
Many people, including me, believe that spotting a cardinal is a special sign that our loved ones who have passed are with us in spirit. They see the bright red bird as a messenger from someone dear. It is a reassuring thought that the cardinal connects the great beyond with those of us still here on Earth!
