The '''Cardinals''' or '''Cardinalidae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[passerine]] [[bird]]s found in [[North America|North]] and [[South America]]. The South American cardinals in the [[genus]] ''[[Paroaria]]'' are placed in another family, the [[Thraupidae]] (previously placed in [[Emberizidae]]).

These are robust, [[seed]]-eating birds, with strong bills. The family ranges in size from the 12-cm, 11.5-gram [[Orange-breasted Bunting]] to the 25-cm, 85-gram [[Black-headed Saltator]]. They are typically associated with open [[woodland]]. The sexes usually have distinctive appearances; the family is named for the red [[feather|plumage]] (colored [[Cardinal (color)|cardinal]] like the color of a [[cardinal (Catholicism)|Catholic cardinal]]'s vestments) of males of the [[type species]], the [[Northern Cardinal]].
<!---The state bird of several US states is the Northern Cardinal, see that page--->

The "buntings" in this family are sometimes generically known as "tropical buntings" (though not all live in the [[tropics]]) or "North American buntings" (though there are other buntings in North America) to distinguish them from the true [[Bunting (bird)|bunting]]s. Likewise the [[grosbeak]]s in this family are sometimes called "cardinal-grosbeaks" to distinguish them from other grosbeaks. The name "cardinal-grosbeak" can also apply to this family as a whole.

The Cardinals or Cardinalidae are a family of passerine birds found in North and South America. The South American cardinals in the genus Paroaria are placed in another family, the Thraupidae (previously placed in Emberizidae).

These are robust, seed-eating birds, with strong bills. The family ranges in size from the 12-cm, 11.5-gram Orange-breasted Bunting to the 25-cm, 85-gram Black-headed Saltator. They are typically associated with open woodland. The sexes usually have distinctive appearances; the family is named for the red plumage (colored cardinal like the color of a Catholic cardinal's vestments) of males of the type species, the Northern Cardinal.

The "buntings" in this family are sometimes generically known as "tropical buntings" (though not all live in the tropics) or "North American buntings" (though there are other buntings in North America) to distinguish them from the true buntings. Likewise the grosbeaks in this family are sometimes called "cardinal-grosbeaks" to distinguish them from other grosbeaks. The name "cardinal-grosbeak" can also apply to this family as a whole.
