Not to be a meme-pedant but how is the Northern Cardinal from Italy?

I too was confused about the indicated countries.

Bothered me as well so I went and looked it up, because sometimes animals I associate with North America are present in Eurasia too.

Northern cardinal range:

So definitely a North America exclusive, and it seems all cardinals, the Cardinalidae family, are New World birds. Stupid meme made me go learn something.

(Also "desert cardinal -- Hungary" should have tipped us all off that the country assignments were random)
