I have a smaller feeder and have noticed the female Cardinal is very much a ‘Feeder Guardian’! She, and her hubby, will sit on the rim, after they have filled their bellies, and face the OUTSIDE watching so the other, smaller birds won’t join to eat!
There is another bird with similar coloring. The red doesn’t cover the body as a Cardinal’s! Little bit smaller w/thinner, longer beak! Can’t seem to find it?? PLEASE HELP!! I
I’m Barbara, in Augusta, GA Tll.
Thanks!
