Red-crested Cardinal: Native to South America, this bird has a bright red head, crest, face, chin and upper breast. The upperparts are gray with an incomplete white collar that nearly meets at the back of the neck. It has white underparts, a light gray bill and gray legs and feet. It mainly feeds on plant seeds, fruits, berries and insects.
Overall, these birds are very flexible in their diet and most species are omnivorous or opportunistic. They especially love to find bugs inside of tree trunks or in the rotted wood or crevices of a tree. Some of their favorite treats include ants, termites, beetles, grubs, caterpillars and spiders.
