Notes for editors. 1  The National Infrastructure Plan has been developed by Infrastructure UK and represents the UKâs first ever infrastructure plan for the UK. 2  The Chancellor confirmed, as part of the June 2010 Budget, the establishment of Infrastructure UK (IUK), as a division of HM Treasury.
A baby cardinal is ready to fly 10-11 days after hatching. 2-4 young are usually hatched at a time. When fully grown, their body length will reach about 21 cm.
The Cherokee believe that the cardinal is an omen and is the daughter of the earthly sun. If a person sees a cardinal flying downward then it is bad luck, but if a person sees a cardinal flying upward towards her father, the sun, then it is good luck. The cardinal was recognized in 1926 as the state bird of Kentucky.
