Real Red Bird: Northern Cardinal

Real Angry Birds – There are several species of birds used in the game Angry Bird. At the initial level, the red bird is the only one available. Each stage of the game, bird species will increase, some bird species are more effective against certain ingredients or have special abilities that are activated after the bird is launched. For example, a blue bird can be split into three small birds, yellow birds that can increase the speed and destructive force, a black bird that could explode, and the white bird egg can drop bombs. Pigs also appear in different sizes. Small pigs are relatively weak and easily destroyed either by a direct hit or by debris from damaged buildings, bigger pigs are able to defend themselves from a lot of damage. Also, several pigs wearing steel helmets, making them more resistant to damage the structure, while the pig with a crown at most can withstand damage. And there are the Real Angry Birds, in real life, check it out!

The Northern Cardinal is a mid-sized songbird with a body length of 20–23 cm (7.9–9.1 in) and a wingspan of 25–31 cm (9.8–12 in). It weighs about 45 g (1.6 oz). The male is slightly larger than the female.[6] The male is a brilliant crimson red with a black face mask over the eyes, extending to the upper chest. The color is dullest on the back and wings.[7] The female is fawn, with mostly grayish-brown tones and a slight reddish tint on the wings, the crest, and the tail feathers.[8] The face mask of the female is gray to black and is less defined than that of the male. Both sexes possess prominent raised crests and bright coral-colored beaks. The beak is cone-shaped and strong.[7] Young birds, both male and female, show the coloring similar to the adult female until the fall, when they molt and grow adult feathers.[9] They are brown above and red-brown below, with brick-colored crest, forehead, wings, and tail.[4] The legs and feet are a dark pink-brown. The iris of the eye is brown.[4] The plumage color of the males is produced from carotenoid pigments in the diet.[10] Coloration is produced from both red pigments and yellow carotenoid pigments.[11] Northern Cardinal males possess the ability to metabolize carotenoid pigments to create plumage pigmentation of a color different from the ingested pigment. When fed only yellow pigments, males become a pale red color, rather than a yellow.[
