The Northern Cardinal is a highly territorial creature and will fiercely defend their territory against other birds, even their own reflections. They are also known for their unique mating behavior, where the male feeds the female during courtship by offering her seeds or insects. Northern Cardinals are common backyard birds and can often be seen at bird feeders, particularly in the winter when food is scarce.
