-The '''Northern Cardinal''' (''Cardinalis cardinalis'') is a bird in the genus ''Cardinalis''; it is also known colloquially as the redbird, common cardinal, or just cardinal. It is a member of the [[Cardinalidae]] family, which includes other cardinals, grosbeaks, and buntings.
+'''Cardinal symptoms''' are the primary or major symptoms that are characteristic of a particular [[disease]] or [[medical condition]]. These symptoms are crucial for the [[diagnosis]] and management of the condition.
-== Description ==
-The Northern Cardinal is a medium-sized songbird with a body length of about 21–23 cm (8.3–9.1 in) and a wingspan of 25–31 cm (9.8–12.2 in). The male is a vibrant red with a black mask on its face, while the female is a more subdued brown with reddish tinges on the wings, tail, and crest. Both sexes have a distinctive crest on the head and a thick, orange-red bill.
-== Distribution and Habitat ==
-Northern Cardinals are found throughout the eastern and central United States from Maine to Texas and south through Mexico and Central America. They inhabit woodlands, gardens, shrublands, and wetlands. Cardinals are non-migratory, meaning they stay in their range year-round.

-=== Feeding ===
+Cardinal symptoms are often the first indicators that prompt individuals to seek [[medical attention]]. They play a significant role in the [[clinical assessment]] and help [[healthcare professionals]] determine the appropriate [[diagnostic tests]] and [[treatment]] plans.
-Cardinals are primarily granivorous, feeding on seeds, grains, and fruits. They also consume insects, especially during the breeding season when they need extra protein for their young. Cardinals are known to visit bird feeders, where they are attracted to sunflower seeds and safflower seeds.
-=== Breeding ===
+==Examples of Cardinal Symptoms==
-The breeding season for Northern Cardinals begins in early spring. Males are known for their courtship displays, which include singing and feeding the female. The female builds a cup-shaped nest in dense shrubs or trees, where she lays 2-5 eggs. Both parents participate in feeding the chicks.

-Cardinals are known for their loud, clear whistles, which are used for communication between mates and to establish territory. Their song is a series of clear, down-slurred or two-parted whistles, often repeated several times.
+Identifying cardinal symptoms is essential for the accurate diagnosis of medical conditions. They guide the [[physician]] in narrowing down the potential causes and selecting the most relevant [[diagnostic procedures]].
-== Conservation Status ==
+==Challenges==
-The Northern Cardinal is listed as Least Concern by the [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN). It is a common and widespread species with a stable population trend.
+* [[Misdiagnosis]]: Cardinal symptoms can sometimes be misleading, leading to incorrect diagnoses.
+* [[Delayed treatment]]: Failure to recognize cardinal symptoms promptly can result in delayed treatment and worsened outcomes.
-== Cultural Significance ==
+==See Also==
-The Northern Cardinal is the state bird of seven U.S. states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia. Its striking appearance and pleasant song make it a favorite among bird watchers and nature enthusiasts.
