Cool.... I got a few couples that stop by every morning before sunrise....females don’t like crowds... Then their also the last to feed (as couples) usually shortly after sunset
The males usually eat first, scope the place out. Before they eat, the males often fly to vantage points all around the property, taking a look. They go from this tree...to that tree...then, after they get a good look, they go down to the feeder.
They are very cautious, except when there is another male around, and they can get quite reckless.
Then, when when the male eats, the female appears close by, then she eats, and he watches. He will sometimes get something, fly over to her, and give it to her.
I love Cardinals. Just about everything about them is good.
Blue Jays, on the other hand, as another Freeper once said: “I never knew a Blue Jay that wasn’t an a**hole!”
