I’m not sure who the portrait of the cardinal is, but I can give you a brief introduction to the cardinal bird.
The cardinal bird is a bird of the genus Rhodoniidae, with the scientific name being the cardinal grosbeak. Other names include red The cardinal bird, also known as the Virginia cardinal or Northern cardinal.
