Unsure at this moment mate if I could find him a good home with others like himself I would as a solitary life in a hutch ain’t great but we will see will go with the best option for him, if he is wild bred he has been driven out as a young male so would be back in the same boat if I let him go have heard of another three being seen or found near me so am guessing like badgers it’s a seasonal thing of pushing out the young males as a way to stop inbreeding Edited May 19 by Greyman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cardinals and buntings, apparently the same family/genus. Wouldn't swear to, mind, my obsessive birdwatching days are long gone, even though I still have a keen interest. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I see cardinals daily over there,very common birds,there’s normally a couple around the lake at the back of the house. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
