I grew up with the charming, bright, chirpy North American cardinal. When we moved to Hawaii, I got to know their cute, feisty South American cousins. But I just found out there is another cardinal! The yellow cardinal! Here's the
Bird Life fact sheet
The yellow cardinal is from Argentina and surrounding areas in Southern South America. It is a threatened species due to capture for trade as a song bird, as well as deforestation of its habitat. I hope the Argentine government takes steps to save this jewel! What a cute little bird! I hope I get a chance to see one someday.
