Furthermore, the cardinal is a sort of matchmaker. Legend states that a cardinal was befriended by a maiden. As it was flying, the bird happened upon a lonely man. The bird led the man to the woman, and when the two people met, a relationship blossomed. Cardinals symbolize luck and are associated with the number 12.
The Cherokee believe that the cardinal is an omen and is the daughter of the earthly sun. If a person sees a cardinal flying downward then it is bad luck, but if a person sees a cardinal flying upward towards her father, the sun, then it is good luck. The cardinal was recognized in 1926 as the state bird of Kentucky.
