This medium-sized songbird isn't shy and\u003cbr\u003ethe Cardinal can often be seen chasing other birds away\u003cbr\u003efrom feeders, even spending hours pecking at its own\u003cbr\u003ereflection to expel an imaginary intruder from its\u003cbr\u003ebreeding territory.\u003cbr\u003eFemales resemble the males, but lack the vivid red\u003cbr\u003ecolouring. They are mostly grayishÐbrown with a\u003cbr\u003ereddish tint in their wings and tail feathers. Both have\u003cbr\u003eprominent crests and dark face-masks surrounding the\u003cbr\u003estrong coral-coloured beak, which is used to break open\u003cbr\u003eseeds and fruits.\u003cbr\u003eNamed after the red robes worn by Cardinals in the\u003cbr\u003eRoman Catholic Church, the Northern Cardinal was\u003cbr\u003eonce a popular cage bird for its attractive plumage and\u003cbr\u003erange of calls, songs and whistles. The male often calls\u003cbr\u003eattention to himself with the cheerful birdie, birdie, birdie\u003cbr\u003ecall. However, the female has a longer, more complex\u003cbr\u003erepertoire, sometimes singing from the nest to inform\u003cbr\u003eher mate when food is needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFace Value: 25 cents\u003cbr\u003eMintage: 25,000\u003cbr\u003eComposition: Nickel plated steel\u003cbr\u003eWeight (g): 12.61\u003cbr\u003eDiameter (mm): 35\u003cbr\u003eEdge: Plain\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Specimen\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Arnold Nogy\u003cbr\u003eCertificate: Serialized\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40785446404171,"sku":"RCM.CA.OT.CN.004854 - BC0827","price":149.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/false_db97d607-89b6-4276-901d-7a7fb2249467.jpg?v=1717056814","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-bm-2008-25-cents-northern-cardinal-birds-of-canada-sp-bc0827","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
