    I wouldn't mess with a male cardinal in mating season (which is nigh)! Ounce for ounce, they're very pugnacious.

    They were dive bombing the cat last year.
    The lady next door with the bird feeders moved
    out. Pretty quiet out this spring. The cat rules Supreme.
    He's been presenting the Mrs with half dead mice and
    Snakes (small ones). She's NOT thrilled.

    Are cardinals truly aggressive? I've never seen them behave that way around here.

    From observing the behavior of the birdies coming to our feeder, the who's wary of who pecking (I crack myself up) order seems t be: Nobody bothers a woodpecker. Blue Jays are bullies who chase the smaller birds away. Cardinals share with everybody bar...blue jays - maybe they are the Robin Hoods of backyard birdies.

    Yes cardinals can be quite aggressive. Not at the level of mockingbirds nor some larger birds (e.g., goshawks) when nesting -- but male cardinals are notorious for attacking windows, mirrors and other shiny surfaces when they see their reflection & think it's a rival male. :o

    Our across-the-road neighbor (now, sadly, deceased) had damage (to the finish) done to his nearly-new F-250 pickup by the attacks of an aggressive male cardinal a couple of years ago.

    Remind me to tell you about crazy aggressive cardinals the next time we
    talk.
