  6. That red breasted cardinal is just stunning! It looks at home with its exotic coloration to be in Hawaii! Cute little pup, too.

  9. I should probably Google this instead, but I’ll just ask you. Was the cardinal named after Cardinals or was it the other way around? Or do they have nothing to do with eachother at all?
