Those are called Cardinal birds, and they're pretty amazing! Cardinals are easy to spot because of their brilliant red feathers and the cool black 'masks' they wear around their eyes. The females are not as bright but still very pretty with their warm brown feathers, and they also have that same cool mask. If you look closely, you will see that their beaks area bright orange color, perfect for cracking open seeds and nuts.  \nSpeaking of seeds and nuts, Cardinals love to eat them! They're not picky eaters at all and will also munch on fruits and insects, whatever they can find really. This is because they need lots of energy to fly around and take care of their families. And guess what? They love to drink sap from trees too, just like if they were drinking a sweet, sticky soda!  \nNow, let's fly into the world of Cardinal bird families. Cardinals mate for life, which means they stick with the same partner forever, isn't that sweet? The female lays 3-4 eggs at a time, and both parents take turns taking care of the eggs until they hatch. When the baby cardinals, or 'chicks', are born, they're so tiny and helpless, but don't worry, mom and dad are there to take care of them until they grow up and can fly on their own.  \nJust like us humans, Cardinals have to watch out for danger. They protect themselves by flying away quickly when they sense danger, using their sharp beaks if they need to, or blending into the red and brown colors of the trees. Cardinals are also very important to humans as they help control the number of harmful insects and they're also a joy to watch. So next time you see a Cardinal, remember how special they are and how they add beauty and help balance our world.  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What color are Cardinal birds?  \nA. bright blue B. light yellow C. bright red D. dark green  \n2) What is the female color of a Cardinal bird?  \nA.
