Which state had the cardinal as their state bird first?
Cardinals mean a few things, actually. The one i like best is "vitality and/or happiness." Another i found is "brings colour to your life and reminds you that all you do is important, you are someone who brightens others lives" (http://www.brigids-haven.com/bos/info/birds.html) I heard they were named after Cardinals in churches because of the robes they wore. it means nothing, just u support the cardinals really Genesis 2:20 = disproves this..."I heard they were named after Cardinals in churches because of the robes they wore." Animals were first then all other man. The church cardinals borrowed form the real ones. By the way Genesis 20 is also the answer to what came first the chicken of the egg.
What is the most venomous bird?
Well according to this animal guy on T.V. it is the Double-Wattled Cassowary (http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/Birds/Facts/FactSheets/fact-cassowary.cfm) . Also this person seems to agree http://www.pbase.com/image/70822934. I have not really seen any hard evidence of this but it was pointed out that it may be related to the famous Velociraptor.
Hard evidence for this is the fact that it is the only bird that has intentionally killed a human, there is more than one case of death.

How long does a robin sit on her baby birds?
If the baby bird is alive, she doesn't sit on it at all! She sits near it and snuggles up to it. She sits on the eggs until they hatch, which is different depending on the type of bird.
What bird is gray with a red head?
It could have been a juvenile cardinal missing head feathers. The siblings sometimes pluck each others feathers out. And the bill or beak wouldn't have turned the bright red color that males get when they mature, the females have a very pale peachy colored beak.
The pigment of their skin is also black to a dark pasty grey, visible when the feathers arent' completely formed or are missing.

Being predatory animals, eagles are generally very good fliers, which they need to be, to be able to hunt down food.
Some eagle species do a lot of scavenging, and since hunting down dead animals isn't much of a problem, they can manage w/o needing to fly particularly well.
oviously , a eagle can fly then what is the use of feathers and also the eagle flys by the air . thank you
Yes, and the sounds of human activities as well.
