INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT CARDINALS:

Cardinals are fascinating birds with unique traits and behaviors.

1. Brilliant Red Plumage – Male cardinals are known for their striking red feathers, which help them attract mates. Females are a warm brown with hints of red.

2. They Sing Year-Round – Unlike many songbirds that only sing during breeding season, both male and female cardinals sing throughout the year. Their song is a series of clear, whistling notes.

3. Mates Duet Together – Mated pairs often sing back and forth to each other, reinforcing their bond. The female may sing while sitting on the nest, and the male responds.

4. They Are Non-Migratory – Cardinals stay in their home range all year long, even during the coldest winters, making them a familiar sight in many backyards.

5. They Mate for Life – Cardinals often form long-term pair bonds, working together to build nests and raise young.

6. They Are Highly Territorial – Male cardinals are very protective of their territory and will aggressively defend it, sometimes even attacking their reflection in windows or mirrors.

7. Their Beaks Are Built for Cracking Seeds – Cardinals have strong, cone-shaped beaks that are perfect for cracking open seeds, though they also eat fruit and insects.

8. They Are a Symbol of Good Luck – Many cultures believe that seeing a cardinal is a sign of good luck, a message from a loved one, or even a spiritual guide.

9. Their Feathers Don’t Stay Red Without a Proper Diet – A cardinal’s red color comes from carotenoids in their diet, mainly from berries and other red fruits. Without enough of these pigments, their feathers may appear duller.

Cardinals are not only beautiful but also full of personality and significance in nature and culture.

Advice from a Tree®

"Advice from a Tree" was inspired by the characteristics and life cycle of a tree, drawing parallels between the growth and existence of trees and how humans can approach life. Let's break down each of the phrases:

1. Stand Tall and Proud: Regardless of their environment, trees grow tall and stand proud, often enduring harsh conditions and overcoming obstacles. - **Life Lesson:** In life, it’s crucial for individuals to have self-confidence and self-respect. Even in the face of adversity, challenges, or criticisms, we should stand firm in our beliefs and values, holding our heads high.

2. Sink your roots deeply into the Earth: For a tree to grow tall and strong, it must first sink its roots deep into the earth. Deep roots anchor the tree, nourish it, and ensure its stability. - **Life Lesson:** This phrase suggests the importance of understanding and connecting with our origins, values, and beliefs. By "sinking our roots", we establish a strong foundation, making us more resilient to external pressures. It also alludes to the idea of grounding oneself, being present, and staying connected with our core essence or community.

3. Be content with your natural beauty: Each tree is unique, from the twists in its branches to the pattern of its bark. They don't try to change their natural form; they simply grow and adapt. - **Life Lesson:** In a world that often pressures individuals to conform to certain standards of beauty or behavior, it’s important to recognize and appreciate one's unique qualities and beauty. Authenticity and self-acceptance are powerful attributes.

4. Drink plenty of water: - Water is essential for a tree's survival. It helps transport nutrients, supports photosynthesis, and maintains its overall health. - **Life Lesson:** Just as trees need water, humans need to hydrate and nourish themselves – physically, mentally, and emotionally. This can be a literal reminder to drink water for health but can also suggest the importance of "feeding" oneself with positive experiences, learning, and self-care.

5. Enjoy the View! -  Trees, especially the tall ones, have witnessed countless sunrises, sunsets, storms, and clear skies from their vantage point. They're stationary observers of the world around them. - **Life Lesson:** Life is filled with ups and downs, and it’s essential to take a moment to appreciate the journey, the lessons, and the beauty around us. This encourages mindfulness, gratitude, and the ability to find joy in the present moment. These simple yet profound phrases serve as reminders that nature can often offer insights and lessons that can help guide our journey through life.
