“I don’t think Walmart did their research on the difference between male and female Cardinals,” he said in the viral video, showing different decorative items with two red cardinals.

“Tis the season to be merry and gay,” he quipped before ending the clip.

Male and female cardinals are quite different when it comes to the color of their feathers. The males are identified with their bold, bright red color while the females are more of a pale or earthy brown with just tinges of red.

“Two bros chillin in a snow globe One inch apart ‘cuz they’re not gay,” another playfully said.

Another wrote, “Sssshhh. Quiet. Dont make them aware.”

Some pointed out that the joke around the festive décor has been going on for years.

“This has been going on for DECADES,” one said, while another wrote, “My mom used to be an avid birder (and cardinals are my fave) so I’ve been hearing about gay cardinal decor for approximately thirty years lol.”

“I love this time of year JUST because of the gay cardinals. the homophobic grandmas love their gay cardinals,” one said.

“I have a pair of cardinals tattooed on my back to represent my grandma & grandpa and it’s shocking how many have asked why one of the cardinals isn’t red,” read another comment.

One netizen admitted their own act of subtle defiance by proudly recalling a gay cardinal centerpiece they had gifted their grandmother.

“I bought my grandma a gay cardinal centerpiece as a silent act of rebellion a few years back,” they said.

This is freaking hilarious. Why do bigots get offended by everything? Oh, right, they’re bigots and not smart. Edit: I was promised a frenzy. There was no frenzy.

I don't think influencer did his homework on birds sitting on branches. You can routinely see same sex birds sitting together on branches, power lines, fences. Heck, I've even seen same sex ducks skinny dipping in my pond. Doesn't make them "gay". But also, WHO CARES? It's just a pretty(ish) Christmas decoration, not a training prop for a zoology class.

Female cardinals are mostly beige and dull. I’m guessing that’s why they used two males.

why do they assume that the two birds on the decoration are a couple? Can't a couple of bird dudes just hang on a branch at Christmas time anymore?

So, every time I see two male birds hanging together outside my window, I can assume they are gay? Oh, please...this is ridiculous.

Ah yes, because you've seen two heterosexual bird pairs, there must be no homosexual bird pairs ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. /s You've at least HEARD of pairbonded/mated-pair male penguins, though, right? The ones who will hatch an egg and raise the chick if given an orphaned egg?
