Northern Red Cardinal

He is missing those nice red crest feathers, but that is common...they will grow back. Maybe caused by lice (poor guy)

      That's true...I let him out of his cage just for photographs :):) Kind of like your yellow bird at Amsterdamse Waterleiding Duinen....I know that that is a pet parakeet that you keep at home. Posted 8 years ago, modified 8 years ago

        Hehe, no...never. I don't think birds should be kept in cages. That just makes no sense at all, although I am guilty of photographing them in zoos like that. Posted 8 years ago
