A pair of male and female cardinals arguing about seeds 🥰
Still not as dramatic as Jacek Stankiewicz's wildlife photo, 'Dispute'.
“I caught this scene while watching birds in the Bialowieza Forest. Young greenfinch was still fed by parents. However, from time to time birds looked like having argument. My friends interpret this scene in two ways. 1 A young naughty kid is arguing with a parent. 2. One kid is reporting to the parent that its brother did something wrong: look he has broken the glass in the window.”
36The drama! The sass! 😂 Sometimes you take a picture and it's just gold.

This is racist and stereotyping, just because they are birds it means that all they talk about is seeds?
That is very inconsiderate. Particularly considering the extremely delicate moment the family is going through. A divorce is not a laughing matter. And Donna was particularly upset during this argument because Ron had threatened to keep the nest despite the fact that he is not fighting the kid's custody. I think we should just give them some space and privacy in this trying times.

I SAW YOU OUT WITH THAT WHORE LINDA! WHY DON’T YOU GO SIT IN HER NEST AND NEVER COME HOME?! WOULD’NT BE THAT DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU’RE ALREADY DOING YOU PATHETIC PILE OF ROUGE.
8"Pathetic pile of rouge" now that's a new insult I'll be adding to my collection!

Question: Was the male giving the female seed?
I ask because my birdfeeder camera often captures our male feeding his mate, and I was puzzled when I first saw it. Is this normal behaviour?
15Male cardinals feed females when courting them and again when the female is incubating and can't forage for herself.
What a gentleman! 😁
11Hate to burst your bubble but according to the link you supplied, they in fact do not mate for life (always).
Cardinal Relationships: Bonded, but not Always for Life
Male and female cardinals don't necessarily mate for life. Although pairs may stay together for multiple years, they do sometimes seek out new mates. One study of a cardinal population in Ohio found that 20 percent of pairs separated during the breeding season and 10 percent more split up over the winter.

Yes the male did do this shortly after this shot.

I'm purposefully being nitpicky here, but isn't it clearer to say "A pair of cardinals, male and female, arguing about seeds". The title makes it sound like it could also be 4 cardinals
9We need a birds arguing community, I would create one myself but I don't have the mental will to mod a community
6This is why we can't have nice things!
3"I'm eating for four, Jeremy!"
3One appears to be calm while the other one appears to be telling them to shut the fuck up
2I only see one of each, not a pair of each.
So it could be a pair of cardinals, or a male and female cardinal, but not a pair of male and female cardinals, as there are not four birds in the photo.
