There’s no flitting around it, this is a rare bird.
A cardinal that appears to be half-female and half-male was recently spotted in Pennsylvania.
Jamie Hill, a birdwatcher for 48 years, documented the unusual sighting in a Facebook post on Sunday.
“I had a once-in-a-lifetime, one in a million bird encounter!” he wrote.
A friend of Hill’s had told him about an “unusual bird” seen at a bird feeder in Grand Valley in Warren County.
The creature was bright red like a male cardinal on one side and brownish white like a female on the other.

Do birdies get vitiligo?
Looks and sounds like the Pope. He is covered in “RED” like a Marxist and wears a dress like a woman.
If it says something about the “Diet of Worms”, we’ve confirmed it.
#1. Female Cardinals should never play “paintball”. Look what happens when they get hit.
#8. That’s a New England “Black Communist Lobster”. Probably from Massachusetts or Conn/Rh. Island.
Name it after Rachel Dohlezar or Kamala Harris.
#38. ETL: My God. Where did you get all the photos of the “Stacey Abrams Drag-Queen Hour” show?
#40. Re “I thought this was a Catholic thread”.
Well, today it is “for the birds”.
#59. Re the photos of the bicolored cardinal. I think it escaped from the movie “La Cage au Feux”.
Damn you, Rachel Levine!
That was my first thought as well. Just like male monkeys screwing other male monkeys “proves” homosexuality.
OTOH - the headline talks about male and female. I’m guessing that it has nothing to do with the sex of the bird - just the coloring of the feathers.
there’s a male blue jay and a female cardinal that have been hanging around my property and producing little ones for the past couple of years...
Lol!
Are the chicks purple or a patriotic red, white & blue?

one is purple, one is like a dark mustard color, one is a redish gray...
they’ll hang around the bird bath for a little while and then leave...
damnedest thing i’ve ever seen...
But seriously, I remember some years ago, one bright and sunny morning following a good snowfall the night before, seeing a (bright blue) male blue jay and a (bright red) male Cardinal perched on top of our fence. It was an incredibly beautiful sight, two boldly colorful birds against the white canvas of the snow all bathed in intense sunlight! Would have made an gorgeous Christmas card.
Seriously? Aren’t they two different species?
seriously... i didn’t even consider it a possibility until i saw them...
