Red Gallery – Northern Cardinal

While cardinals are naturally ground feeders, humans provide them with an abundant amount of food in bird feeders. They are attracted to most bird feed, but are particularly fond of black oil sunflower seeds. They also like to eat suet, peanuts, fresh berries. Cardinals get their bright colors from the pigments found in berries and other plant materials in their diet.
