This striking Cardinals’ yellow plumage is the result of a rare genetic mutation known as xanthism, which affects pigment production. Such sightings are incredibly uncommon, making each encounter a special event for bird enthusiasts.

So beautiful, the complete opposite of another cardinal I know.
Stunning bird!
finally. a respectable bird.
What I expect to see 10/19 after all the Cards fans sell their tickets because this team is garbage
In what part of the state would you find this beautiful bird?
If you say Glendale, so help me…
just joined this sub today! love this info thank you so much
Unironically this is super cool, I had no idea that could happen
This is the earliest in the season I can remember seeing the mass migration of the humble, yet ever naive brave little soldiers.
Sleep soundly you beautiful, stupid bunch of dumb dummies, next season will be different.
so much better than some other kinds of cardinals
It’s a shiny!
Can’t believe it’s the off-season already
I mean…that is definitely cool?
Where can I find one in its natural habitat?
This Cardinal was the inspiration for our offensive play calling philosophy.
lol two years ago we did the same thing with phone chargers
