Cardinals nest 1-15 feet off of the ground in trees and bushes. They lay 2-5whitesh-brown eggs which are incubated by the female for about 12-13 days. After the young hatch, they leave the nest about 9-11 days later. During their stay, however, they are fed regurgitated seeds.

The nest is made by the female of paper, leaves, twigs, rootlets, vines, grass, and hair. The male protects the female while she builds the nest.
