The Energetic Cardinal is the Brightest Bird

Cardinals are active songbirds and sing a variety of different melodies. The northern cardinal is so well loved that it has been named the official bird of no fewer than seven U.S. states. Bright red cardinals are easily identified by even casual bird watchers and are often seen frequenting backyards and bird feeders. When foraging elsewhere these birds eat insects, seeds, grain, fruit, and sap. Cardinals, also called “redbirds,” do not migrate and have traditionally been more common in warmer climates. Only males sport the brilliant red plumage for which their species is known. The color is a key to their mating success—the brighter the better. Females are an attractive tan and gray. The cardinal is one of the first birds at the bird feeder in the morning and the last ones there in the evening.

If your power animal is the cardinal, one of your primary purposes for being on this planet is to brighten the lives of those you come in contact with. You easily command the spotlight and enjoy being the center of attention. You infuse everything you do with passion and vitality. You have the strength and perseverance needed to accomplish any goal. You stand out in the crowd and when you walk into a room, you brighten it up without even trying. You prefer a stable living situation so you tend to stay in the same place for long periods of time. You have access to a powerful feminine energy and are able to listen closely to your intuitive guidance. The cardinal is naturally energetic, loves life, and happily helps others where and when they can. The cardinal is confident and loves to whistle glorious songs all day long.
