There’s no flitting around it, this is a rare bird.

A cardinal that appears to be half-female and half-male was recently spotted in Pennsylvania.

Jamie Hill, a birdwatcher for 48 years, documented the unusual sighting in a Facebook post on Sunday.

“I had a once-in-a-lifetime, one in a million bird encounter!” he wrote.

A friend of Hill’s had told him about an “unusual bird” seen at a bird feeder in Grand Valley in Warren County.

The creature was bright red like a male cardinal on one side and brownish white like a female on the other.

Probably shows the differentiation of the zygote.

Half-and-half, bipolar birds here.

So, it's a transgender cardinal?
Did someone check if it's biologically male or female?
Do the taxpayers now pay for it to have surgery to become all one color or the other?

There is a bird native to Africa called the Secretary Bird. This is simply the Pennsylvania Health Secretary Bird.

Bilateral gyndromorphism is apparently caused by a mistake during cell division,An egg and its associated polar body are fertilized by separate sperm. The resulting individual is a male-female chimera.”

I am a birder, and the cardinals are certainly one of the most easily identifiable birds out there. They come in pairs, and, as far as I can tell, stay with their mate, who usually accompanies them to the feeder. They have personalities, and you kind of get to know them. This would be a VERY cool siting.

What’s its preferred pronoun?

The other Cardinals will shun it or kill it.

A bird! O, what a relief. I thought this was about a Cardinal at the Vatican.
