The cardinal lives in IN all year and does not migrate. You see them all winter long foraging for food.
It is a brightly-colored bird which is bold and will scare cats away from its nest.
Since the bird is native to IN, brightly-colored, bold, and a winter favorite of the people here, it fit perfectly as the state bird.

This is tough. I am still working on it. Here is what I have come up with so far...somewhat of an explaination (this may be the best explaination) as well as the correlation between the cardinal, catholic church (red bird and red cape).
The cardinal (Richmondena cardinalis
cardinalis) was adopted as the state bird
by the 1933 General Assembly (Indiana
Code 1-2-8). The male is bright red; the
female is brown with a dull red crest,
wings and tail. They remain in Indiana
year round and nest in thickets of
brambles or low saplings.

The cardinal is in Indiana year round and is the only bird that can survive their winter.

Chicago is a great city to visit, there is plenty to do. Walk down Michigan avenue. Walk along Lake Michigan, you can do this for miles. The Adler Planetarium, the Museum of Science and Industry, Addison which is the neighborhood around Wrigley field, and Lincoln park where the zoo is. And much more.

Why is any bird chosen as a state bird for any given state? My first guess would be that it's indigenous to that area.
