Other facts you should know about cardinals
Cardinals are big birds that cant cling to mesh feeders, and sometimes avoid feeders with small perches. They wont use a feeder that sways in the wind or one that they have to balance on. Because they usually prefer eating from the ground, a ground platform feeder, such as the Ground Feeder with a Roof is perfect for them. The roof is nice because it keeps rain and snow off the food.

There are things other types of cardinals aren't supposed to do after all.
