Not a good pic by any means, but a pic with a question about Cardinals....

Just wondering if they are the dumbest species.......maybe even mildy retarded?

This same Cardinal has been pecking at the back window of this van for 3-4 days, and the same exact bird has also been pecking at one of the windows to my garage. Is it some sort of mating season for Cardinals, or do I just have the resident retard? Or are they all this stupid?

I've seen American Robins do it also....they're territorial and they think they're reflection is another male.

I've also seen birds attack from bumpers and grills of cars...good insect selection up there.


LMAO...I just noticed the droppings. Better wash that off...lol.

This is hilarious. There's a Cardinal at one of my birding sites that is obsessed with side view mirrors on any car that parks in "his" spot. He kindly pinstripes them for free. I don't park there anymore.

Seems he's trying to make a statement to the other guy that keeps showing up and looks amazingly like himself.

NH

Too funny, those droppings are hilarious lol

Good info. And yes, the main reason I even took the pic is because I saw all of the fertilizer......

Yeah, this guy LETS 'EM GO! when he is upset huh!?

Looks as if the bird feels the same way about Dodge vehicles as I do.
Interesting behavior.
