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.
One of the most easily identified songbirds, the cardinal reaches a maximum of 8 to 9 inches in size, with males bearing brilliant red plumage, for which the species is also known as redbirds. The name cardinal is derived from the red robes worn by Roman Catholic cardinals.
