During the female cardinal's incubation period, the male often sleeps nearby, typically in dense shrubs or trees close to the nest. He remains vigilant, providing protection and guarding against potential threats while also foraging for food to support both himself and the female. This behavior helps ensure the safety of the nest and the young chicks once they hatch.

Female northern cardinals do not experience pregnancy in the same way mammals do, as they lay eggs instead. After mating, a female cardinal typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks to build a nest and then lays a clutch of 2 to 5 eggs. The eggs usually take about 11 to 13 days to incubate before they hatch.

The male hunts for food while the female looks after the eggs or it's baby. If the female doesn't have any babies or eggs than it goes to hunt for food itself.
Cardinal eggs do not all hatch at the same time. The female cardinal usually lays one egg per day until her clutch is complete, which typically consists of 2-5 eggs. This results in eggs hatching at different times, usually 12-13 days after the last egg is laid.
