Symbolically Adopt a Northern Cardinal

The vibrant red plumage of the male northern cardinal makes it one of the most easily recognizable songbirds in southern Ontario. A year-round resident, the cardinal enjoys a diet of seeds, grains, and berries, and uses its strong beak to break the hard shells of seeds and nuts.

Northern cardinal populations in Canada have been increasing since the 1970s. The cardinal will make its home anywhere it can find dense shrubland — forest edges, fields, wetlands, and even gardens. If you have berry bushes or a backyard bird feeder well-stocked with sunflower seeds, you can likely count on a cardinal to pay a visit.
