Looks like Narcissus is at it again, having a staring contest with his biggest fan! He just can’t get enough of that handsome bird in the mirror. 😉

Why do Cardinals peck at mirrors?

Male cardinals are very territorial, especially during breeding season. When they see their reflection in a mirror, like the one on this car, they perceive it as another male cardinal encroaching on their territory. They’ll peck at it aggressively to try and chase off what they think is a rival bird. It’s their instinct to protect their space!
