It’s an RC bird with an intuitive, easy-to-use remote, so you can fly it around your backyard. Like this:

Neat, huh? The problem: unlike in previous sales, we only have one model left, the cardinal. And that makes sense. Because we, as a nation, have taken the cardinal for granted.

Like many, when the world shut down in March of 2020, my wife and I took on a number of projects and hobbies we could do in and around the house. Many of these fell quickly by the wayside. But there’s one we’ve continued to this day: feeding and watching the birds. And we’ve become real nerds about it too.

Like, I absolutely lose it with excitement when I get a hairy woodpecker at the suet, despite the fact that they basically look like the super common downey woodpecker but at 1.75x size. And every year around Mother’s Day, when the rose-breasted grosbeaks come through the area, I grow giddy and sit on the back porch, pretending to read while I eagerly await their arrival at our bird buffet.

Cardinals, on the other hand, visit the feeders often. No, they’re not as plentiful as, say, finches and sparrows, and they don’t stay as long as doves, but they’re the first there in the morning and the last to leave at night, often visiting at dusk after all other birds have retired to their nests.

Because they appear frequently throughout the day every day, I often forget just how striking of a bird the cardinal really is. In fact, I’d venture that unless I travel to some tropical locale replete with wild parrots and toucans, the cardinal–with its wild and expressive crest, its bold crimson hue, and its round orange beak contrasting beautifully with the black shading of its face–very well might be the most striking bird I ever see outside of a pet store.

And yet, due to abundance, the cardinal’s presence registers as little more than a pop of color when I look out the back window, while the above-mentioned birds–the hairy woodpecker and rose-breasted grosbeak–are given a hero’s welcome whenever they stop by, despite being of equal or lesser beauty.

This needs to end! We, as a people, need to start really celebrating the cardinal! And how do we do this?

That’s right: by buying these RC cardinals.

Nope, I’m sorry. This is the only way. I will hear no argument.
