You are right again, Heidi. It's a revolving, perpetual motion, fast-food restaurant. I had not noticed it spins both left and right. Mesmerized by the birds, I guess.
creatorwise i havent Seen A cardinal in years i forgot how pretty they Are on white Snow..i was born in ohio ...But now live in southern germany!have a great day ...hc
Oh yes, the cardinal's vibrant red really pops against the white snow background. Wow, a fellow midwesterner, buckeye for sure. I'm Indiana hoosier (whatever that is). May you have a blessed day, and stop by often for your cardinal fix. :)
spuffspuffs Thanks for watching, and for your kind comment. I would happily trade you a few cardinals for a few of your beautiful goldfinches and cute little robins. Lol.
I just bought a bird feeder cause I feel sorry for the birds that are living under our roof...I'm so excited I can't wait to see them eating it. If they do I wanna buy three more bird feeders. So fun to watch. I love when they chirp in the morning.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Sizzling Zombie. You are in for a lot of excitement. Don't be discouraged if it takes a while for the birds to come. They will eventually. I was using sunflower seed in this feeder. Best of luck to you!
My 18 year old tabby used to love this soap opera , he used to look behind the tv for the birdies then give me a look of why are you keeping them from me mom??????
My mother would be crying watching this video. She is in love with the Blue Jays and northern Cardinals. We tend to get Cardinals in our neighborhood but we never have Blue Jays.
Thanks for watching, woodrax. Yes, when I looked out my patio door I couldn't believe my eyes. So glad I was able to get set up quickly and close enough to capture this feeding frenzy. The brilliant red of the Cardinals was a sight to behold. Yes, Mr. Bluejay reigned supreme. We're in the midst of several days of hot, humid 90's here right now, so this is refreshing to watch :)
I just moved into a busy street area where I have no place to hang birdfeeders thankyiou So very much it is Christmas eve and me and the cat are here listening to and enjoying the birds, my hearts greatest bliss. God bless
You're very welcome, Kathleen, and thank you so much for watching. I hope you will stop by often to get your birdwatching "fix." Have a wonderful Christmas, and God bless you also.
You're so fortunate to be able to have bird feeders to enjoy all the precious birds without having nasty bird hating neighbors complaining. I love birds!
You are so right, Vanessa! I am more blessed than I realized. I hadn't thought of that yet. Thanks for your kind comment and for loving birds! I hope you will stop by often, I will happily share my birds with you!
Thanks for your kind comment! I'm so glad you love those cardinals and blue jays. I think you would also love my "Spring Birds' Feeding Frenzy." It's not quite as frenzied but has a kaleidoscope of beautiful colors that will make you say "Wow and Ohh!" even more :)
Yes, they will show up. Be patient! ! After I purchased my Squirrel Stopper System, I was able to put up a lot of different feeders and attract all types of birds. I already had a variety of birds visiting my back yard....well, maybe not as many as you show in your video but I had my fair share. Anyway, I felt like switching to something that would keep the squirrels from gobbling up all the seed, was a good move. Awesome video you have here!!!! Love the sound of the birds chirruping!
Yes, I would say that is a Frenzy of Birds :-) It's like a Fast Food joint, grab your stuff and leave... Nice to see such a variety of birds. Never a dull moment!
My step father invented that bird feeder. He started the Cedar Works birdfeeder company. He eventually sold it to the Pennington Seed company. Great products.
@@anniebeaudry2937 Thanks again, Annie! I'm happy to share them with you. Stop by often to enjoy "our" beautiful birds. I think you would also like "our" "Spring Birds Feeding Frenzy." It features a lot more beautiful colors of the spring birds, not quite as frenzied. ua-cam.com/video/bteb0AnEE30/v-deo.html
Poor little creatures. Everyone is hungry in winter. it's good to know some kind hearted person placing a feeding platform for them all and look at how many little beauties come for lunch. Well done. A welcoming atmosphere for these little birds. Listen to them chirping and singing.
Thanks so much, Mick, for your kind comments. I never tire of watching these avian beauties, and listening to them chirping and singing, as you said. They have repaid me many fold for my expense, time and effort in feeding them. I never dreamed they would earn 41,000+ views in less than 2 years.
creatorwise I wish I was in your shoes, bro; I wish I was, to see what you see. A lovely snow blanketed landscape with natural beauty and trees all around and to have all these colourful birds visiting your place for a free meal, it really touched my heart. What more would I want? You've got what most don't have and this video proves it. Well done my friend. Greetings from Australia.
Mick Carson Yes, Mick, I certainly am blessed by our Creator with some of His special creatures. Fortunately, you DO get to see some of what I see by watching this video, which is a better, close-up view than I have through my patio door. I do have the great panorama view, but it's presently obscured by all the foliage. The leaves are starting to fall here in Indiana now, and I'll soon have that view again. Thanks for your kind comments, mate, and blessings to you.
yes it's wonderful when we help out. they know and they appreciate it. we all have a connection with everything on the planet, we aren't separate from them, we are a part of them. we would all be better souls if we realized and practiced that connection.
Thanks. I had a yellow hammer and a linnet in the garden today and saw the first swallow. They always say summer is on the way when the swallows arrive. And, I saw a red kite nearby this week and a migrant osprey. I love the spring.
I would get two more feeders so there is less squabble. I would also figure out how to keep them stationary. More suet feeders for more woodpeckers. Those cardinals are gorgeous and that blue jay is huge! That suet feeder sure is quiet with that one woodpecker!
It is fun watching them spin on the feeder :-) It is nice to see the Goldfinches joining all the others on that feeder. By me they seem to like to stay away from a busy feeder. Funny how when the Blue Jay is there all the other birds stay away and then jump right back on the feeder when he leaves..
love to see the redbirds in the winter. I am trying to keep mine here in the winter. I build a cardinal house and now I have a feeder up with cardinal food, so I guess I'll just keep doing these things. its a nice sheltered area and it's not very cold here
bluejays are very aggressive. when i lived in kansas they would chase my very large cat in the back yard. they would swoop down on her! she didn't ever try to catch them, she just flattened herself (as much as she could) into the grass. they are gorgeous though.
patricia mcdermott You are right about the bluejays, patricia. I think you will enjoy seeing a cardinal attack a bluejay at 5:27 in my albino squirrel video: ua-cam.com/video/dtTS1uC-5_Q/v-deo.html
Thanks for the kind comments! Glad you love them. You must be pretty happy too, if you have a few hundred. My birds explode in a kaleidoscope of color in the spring. Check out my "Spring Birds' Feeding Frenzy." Not quite as frenzied as "Winter..." but a lot more color. God bless you.
I love it, especially the cardinals. I actually think the female cardinals are just as pretty as male ones, if not more pretty. When they fly you can see the red streaks in the wings with the brown, looks so cool
@@jacobb8396 I live in a park setting (trailer park), a small wood adjacent, so lots of birds. Other neighbors feed them also. I offer a variety of food, and some birds like the black oil sunflower seed, some like suet, some nyjer seed, some the grape jelly. When my wife was still alive we had flowers and lots of humming birds.
@@creatorwise Hmm, I see. Thank you for telling me. The point is I really love this video and I really wish I can see this many birds of all different colors in one place. Very peaceful and comforting.
I get a lot of birds, but...I always thought the little sparrows, finches, kept the cardinals and blue jays away. I used to see them more..miss them to!
Birds are awesome when I see them in cages it makes me sad. This is what their life should be and how we can be close to them, feeding them and watching them enjoy their lives being free
You're right, you tube 425. Food is hard to come by when the snow is deep. When they are feeding like this it gets a little expensive, but it's worth it. They are such a joy to watch. They seem to be pretty happy.
Thank you for your kind comment. It reminds me once again to be thankful for such a wonderful variety of colorful birds frequenting my feeders. Please stop by often for a remedy for your gag reflex.
Yes you are very lucky as am I, molonlave. I don't take it for granted. I thank God for these beautiful avian creatures. I often have to stop what I'm doing and just watch in amazement for awhile. Actually, we have the Carolina Chickadee too. I can't tell them apart, but the Indiana bird book states that the Black-capped Chickadees are only in the northern third of the state. Thanks for watching. Hope you didn't get dizzy. Lol
Love these little guys. I maintain feeders and have registered myself in DC as a wildlife habitat. BTW, I feed the squirrels separately, as best as I can.
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment. Woodpeckers are prominent visitors in many of my bird videos. I have some featuring the pileated, red-headed, and hairy woodpeckers, and even the flickers.
Lisa Schumacker me too! It’s so frustrating because I don’t like to do the fence or deck railing thing anymore since I saw a fat rat up there once 😨, so now I HAVE to use the feeders and both the cardinal I’ve been feeding for 3 years and his mate never want to use it. They do sometimes, but not often, and it’s really frustrating cuz today for instance it’s -10 and snowing like crazy, and I went outside to put food out before the snow so my birds would have calories and be warmer, anyway, the cardinals came first thing in the morning, as usual they were the first and only birds there and had the feeder all to themselves with a mountain of seeds, and they did the high pitch feeding chirp like 3-4 times and then left, then came back and left again. 5 minutes later all the other birds came and then the squirrels came and all the foods gone and it’s snowing now. So I look outside and the cardinals are in the tree looking sad cuz there’s no food. I couldn’t even do the railing/fence thing now cuz it would be covered in snow again before the cardinals got there
I remember seeing this years ago and was amazed at how many varieties and how much traffic that feeder got. A lot of people that are starting out in birding would wish for this. Helps that are in a good location too.
+LOLA'S STUDIO Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, I am lucky and very blessed with all the trees and birds. Lots of leaves to rake in the fall, but it's worth it. I really enjoyed your black-capped chickadee, cardinal, blue jay and dove. You have a very nice setup for attracting and feeding birds, and your tree will mature before long :)
My backyard is facing someone's backyard...hate it. hahahahaha....The lady is watching me when she smokes....She might think" WTH u are doing here, why feeding your birds all the times". U can watch my bird videos if you like. Thanks for replying me. Have a great weekend.!!
+LOLA'S STUDIO You're very welcome. Maybe the lady should put down her cigarettes and learn how to feed the birds. Lol. Yes I will watch some more of your bird videos. Thanks and you have a great weekend also!!
Definitely a "fast food" restaurant. Lol. Hey, wish I were in NZ! Glad you love our Cardinals and happy to share them with you. Stop by anytime and enjoy them. Blessings.
Thanks for watching and commenting, photoman. I agree. If they aren't enjoying the spin then they deserve Oscars because they sure are great actors. Lol.
Thanks for watching. I'm sure you have some beautiful birds that we don't have. At any rate, I'll happily share mine with you...stop by often to watch them. You might also want to check out my Spring Birds Feeding Frenzy for some that are even more colorful.
+Swami Joy sunflower kernal/hearts feeder (even if its only a small one) would be amazing here, if this was me, id trade the black sunflower seeds in the hopper feeder for black sunflower hearts/kernals, yes theyd dissapear fast but alot less mess and the birds would be thankful :)
Thank you so much, Camilla, for your very kind comment. So nice to have friends (I'm including your cat) in Denmark! Warm regards from Indiana, USA :-)
i love this video and so do my cats! i remember when i was a little girl learning my birds, i colored all these birds. to see them all together is amazing! i haven't seen a cardinal or blue jay in years and the woodpecker is so lovely! thanks for sharing. my cats thank you too, they love this!
You're welcome, patricia. I'm glad you and your cats love it. I, too, distinctly remember coloring most of these birds (in the 4th grade). And when the baltimore orioles and rose-breasted grosbeaks (summer birds) surprisingly showed up at my feeders, I knew immediately what they were from that 4th grade exercise. Amazingly, I didn't even have to get my bird guidebook out. Lol. Thanks for watching and God bless you (and cats).
yep me too. i colored the birdies in kindergarden in germany (army brat) and will never forget it. when i saw them in real life for the first time, i knew who they were. i live in idaho now and we don't see cardinals or bluejays much here in boise. there are some woodpeckers but they don't have the full red head like yours do. the woodpecker in your video is just so beautiful.. well they all are. and you inspired me today to go get a treat bell for the birdies i do have. i feed the squirrels too so i hope they won't eat all of the seed. a neighbor of mine had one of his cottonwoods fall down during a wind storm about 2 months ago and it was always full of birds. i was sad because i loved watching the leaves on that tree sparkle in the sun but a plus for me was all the birds came to the tree that is right on the other side of my fence and in the mornings it sounded like a jungle and they were much closer. my cats don't go out much at all so i don't have to worry about the birds and the squirrels are too big and fast for them. lol.. my cats just showed up and want me to turn the birdies on again...
patricia mcdermott Thanks again, patricia. Your last sentence put a smile on my face, just made my day :-) I would love to see a video of cats watching my video. Lol. That would be so cute. I'm glad you have all those birds closer to you now. I would definitely hang that treat bell, and try 2 or 3 other feeders also, and you might have an aviary in your back yard, complete with jungle sound. Be sure to check out my red-headed woodpecker video to see a really full red head, and also I have two vids of the big pileated woodpecker. That loud bird call you hear in this video is the pileated but he never came within view. He does do a surprise cameo at the end of my Fledgling Finch Feeding Frenzy vid. I hope you and your cats will visit often.
creatorwise i bought my first bird feeder today. the chickadees and a woodpecker have started coming to my yard since i put bird seed out. the squirrels come too, this morning i swear there were 7 of them (word must have gotten around) waiting for the peanuts. so i went to the feed and tack store and they had one bird feeder hanging there that was on clearance and it just talked to me. so i'm going to hang it up and sees if more birdies will come. i love seeing all those fluffy little chickadees in the morning in the tree. i love their song too. i never thought the birds would come because i have cats (they are mostly indoor but they do go out with me) and all of the squirrels but they have started and i'm really happy. it's funny because my cats have been watching the bird videos, they just sit and watch the birds outside and looked amazed. i keep an eye on them though. the squirrels they are so used to they don't bother them at all and frankly the squirrels are as big as they are and could probably kick their ass! plus they are faster. anyway, i'm glad that i found your videos for my cats and it made me want to have some more birds in my yard. now i will look for a bird bath.
patricia mcdermott Congratulations, patricia, I'm happy for you. I'm sure the birds will spread the word also, and I hope you have a large variety. Then, when spring arrives you won't believe it. Sorry about those pesky squirrels. They're a problem for me at times. Just stay with it and you (and your cats) will have hours of enjoyment watching these avian beauties. (But don't forget my video, please. Lol.)
@@creatorwise I'm so happy you loved my comment. Your video of these beautiful birds is so soothing and heartwarming. You made my day too, with your thoughtful response! Thanks again! :-D
@@pevensielavere22 Wow! I dearly love this comment as well because you used 2 words that touched my heart, "soothing and heartwarming." I just happened to use forms of those words in my last video, "Carolina Wrens Soothe Broken Heart." I think you would love it. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/VUoRQN89m2E/v-deo.html Be sure to read the Description to see why I am devastated and why I believe God sent those beautiful little wrens along in a very unusual circumstance, just to soothe my broken heart. Kind of like the way your comments are helping me right now! Thanks so much! :-D
@@creatorwise Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. It warms my heart to know you felt touched by the words "soothing and heartwarming." I am going to watch the video you mentioned "Carolina Wrens Soothe Broken Heart." Thanks for the suggestion! I love how you described your belief that God sent those wrens to you just in time to soothe your broken heart.
@@pevensielavere22 Thanks "again" for your very kind sentiments! They are so uplifting! I'm sorry to learn you also are dealing with something similar. It's gratifying to know my videos help. I must give God the credit for that! I do appreciate the balm in your words: "meditate on something joyful...life affirming...brimming with hope...Endless thanks"!!! And to you, likewise! :-D "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" (Psalm 30:5) KJV
Thanks for your kind comment. Yes, when I looked out my patio door, the cardinals are what grabbed by attention immediately, more so even than the feeding frenzy, which was something in itself. I didn't know we had so many male cardinals around and that red was just popping against the snowy background. Haven't had that many since. We were so blessed!
I have so enjoyed your Winter Feeding Frenzy and Spring Feeding Frenzy videos. I sit outside on my back deck, and play both of them at the same time. The Birds around here, in Raleigh, NC hear the call for feeding and it draws more of them, I believe.
The feeder in the center that is getting the most action is filled with sunflower seed (they call it black oil sunflower seed). The mesh sock on the left has thistle seed, also known as nyjer seed. The metal cage on the right has a block of suet in it. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Thank you, Esther, and thanks for your video response on your Yellow-Bellied Sunbirds. It was absolutely awesome. Thanks for investing your time and skill in such painstaking detail. I'm sure it was a "labor of love." God bless you for sharing it.
+Albury Smith LOL! Yes we have lots of squirrels here. Check out my companion video: ua-cam.com/video/oGe51NXXmgE/v-deo.html Fast forward to the final minute. Also see my vid: Circus Squirrel Antics. They must have been taking a siesta, or they may have been feeding on the ground under the feeder at this time. I do spend a lot of time chasing them off my feeder. :-)
+creatorwise Our southeastern PA squirrels NEVER take a siesta, but nine 5" diameter, 2-foot long, 24 gauge stove pipes wrapped around the three 4 X 4 posts bearing my BIRD feeders have finally dissuaded them from climbing up and stealing all of the food, and I now have a somewhat disgruntled (but apparently resigned) ground-feeding squirrel community and much more songbird action. I enjoy all of your beautiful visitors every day, but haven't seen that many cardinals at the same time. My favorites here are the Carolina wrens, downy woodpeckers, and red-bellied woodpeckers on the suet feeders, and the white-breasted nuthatches viewing the world upside-down in quick bursts.
+Albury Smith Would've loved to have seen those squirrels trying to climb the stove pipes when you first wrapped them around the 4 x 4s. LOL. I used to think squirrels and raccoons were cute critters till I started feeding the birds a few years ago. What pests they are now. I love our cardinals but have not seen as many since this vid. You also have a great variety of my favorites too. Thanks for your fine comments.
+creatorwise There were 3 churches and a synagogue in a small Ohio town: a Baptist church, a Methodist church, a Catholic church and a Jewish synagogue. Each church and the synagogue had a problem with squirrels At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and unfortunately knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week. The Methodist church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creatures, so they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist Church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water slide. The Catholic church came up with a very creative strategy-they baptized all the squirrels and consecrated them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter. Not much was heard from the synagogue, but it's rumored that they took one squirrel and circumcised him, and haven't seen a squirrel on their property ever since.
That gets me excited for winter, I am in northern Indiana, so I see the same birds. I do have a live trap that gets House Sparrows as they are invasive. It is a Deluxe Revolving Sparrow Trap if you are interested. I have got a better diversity of birds around my area by eliminating these pest birds. Hope others do the same!
creatorwise No problem. Since the House Sparrow is invasive I kill them and the local raptor rehab gladly excepts them. I know it sounds harsh but they do not belong here and can outcompete and kill native birds. I been into bird watching my whole life and hope to have a career in Ornithology once I finish up college. I have noticed a better variety of birds at my feeders by taking care of these pesty birds.
steve kiermaier HOSP regularly kill native species in my neighborhood and I've tried many things to scare them off, but they're so clever, they've even figured out how to get in the nest box holes that are supposed to be too small & killed "my" house wren 2 years ago, that really broke my heart. They are so territorial, they just killed the wren for being in the area they dominated. I like the idea of donating them to the raptor center. I've had to seriously cut back my bird feeding b/c they are so out of control; had to stop for a while after I got starlings, that was really too bad. I bought a sound device that made a starling distress call that scared off starlings but didn't want to annoy my neighbors too much!
Mitzi Dharma I would highly recommend getting the Deluxe Repeating Sparrow Trap. It can get both Starling and Sparrow and if any native birds got in you can release them. I am enjoying watching all native birds coming to my birders and not seeing a single Starling since last winter and only a few sparrows here and there, usually always getting them if they do come here. Good luck !
steve: Thanks for info about the trap. I'm assuming I'd be able to find it online? I live in the city and the "English Sparrows" are awful. They mob the feeders, toss the seed (at least the juncos eat the ground seed,) attack other birds, kill native birds, prevent wrens and chickadees from taking care of their babies, toss baby birds out of their nests, etc. I love it when the Coopers hawks harass them. Unfortunately, the slower mourning doves usually end up being lunch. :(
The red of the Cardinals really pop against the white snow. I don't see multiple male cardinals at the same time only one mating pair at my feeder. Typical Bluejays at the top of the pecking order.
@N.E.gardening, yes we are blessed with lots of bright red cardinals that "pop" (I like that verb) against the white snow. I counted 5 out there today. @Donna Cundy, I live in Indiana, south central, near Columbus. Yes that is the Pileated you hear. Check out my woodpecker vids. Thanks for watching!

Hello guys. I with you a Happy Easter. Take care everyone. Cheers.
Thanks. I had a yellow hammer and a linnet in the garden today and saw the first swallow. They always say summer is on the way when the swallows arrive. And, I saw a red kite nearby this week and a migrant osprey. I love the spring.
wow blueyay,cardinals and a pecker on the right feeder how lovely...
Thank you, Juan for the kind comment.
the big red and blue ones are stunning
Thanks for watching, Ash. I agree, the cardinals and bluejays steal the show.
This is awesome. I would love to have this many different species at my feeders! And those Cardinals ❤️
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment! I took this video so I could share them with you. Please stop by often.
Mr Cardinal not leaving, he's standing his Ground. This is Birds Paradise 🥰😍🥰 Beautiful Video!
No place in paradise for the dreaded House sparrow.
Какие красивые птички 👍
The cardinal is enjoying the ride LOL😀
LOL. You're so right. Little free-loader! Till Mr. Blue Jay streaks in....
Красота!!! У нас снегири, у них кардиналы символ нового года,
Loved 🥰
Wonderful!!.
I wake up to cardinals every morning! Thanks!!
You're welcome, and thank you for the kind comments!!
I would get two more feeders so there is less squabble. I would also figure out how to keep them stationary. More suet feeders for more woodpeckers. Those cardinals are gorgeous and that blue jay is huge! That suet feeder sure is quiet with that one woodpecker!
Thanks for watching, Calvin, and for your kind comments and good advice.
It is fun watching them spin on the feeder :-) It is nice to see the Goldfinches joining all the others on that feeder. By me they seem to like to stay away from a busy feeder. Funny how when the Blue Jay is there all the other birds stay away and then jump right back on the feeder when he leaves..
love to see the redbirds in the winter. I am trying to keep mine here in the winter. I build a cardinal house and now I have a feeder up with cardinal food, so I guess I'll just keep doing these things. its a nice sheltered area and it's not very cold here
Thank you. Yes, those redbirds really stand out against the white winter background. Keep up the good work.
*I watched the whole thing.. it was so interesting and cool!*
Thanks for watching and for your kind comments!
An absolutely amazing sight! The joy the birds are sharing and through your feeding lens the joy your viewers share.
When the bluejay lands everyone runs away
bluejays are very aggressive. when i lived in kansas they would chase my very large cat in the back yard. they would swoop down on her! she didn't ever try to catch them, she just flattened herself (as much as she could) into the grass. they are gorgeous though.
patricia mcdermott You are right about the bluejays, patricia. I think you will enjoy seeing a cardinal attack a bluejay at 5:27 in my albino squirrel video: ua-cam.com/video/dtTS1uC-5_Q/v-deo.html
Noctis Spectra *its lonely and just wants friends*
Lol , always like that.....bullies...
There's always a hierarchy lol🐦
I did not realize blue jays and cardinals were that big in size, especially compared to the others. That bird feeder is acting like a merry go round.
Wow, a winter haven for the feathered friends. What a variety of beautiful and colorful birds you have there. Thank you!
Wow! So many hungry little guys! Awesome.
Thanks for watching, Tara, and for your kind comment! Glad you liked it!
So many colors, so much beauty from God. Love to see the happy birds. I have a few (hundred) too
Thanks for the kind comments! Glad you love them. You must be pretty happy too, if you have a few hundred. My birds explode in a kaleidoscope of color in the spring. Check out my "Spring Birds' Feeding Frenzy." Not quite as frenzied as "Winter..." but a lot more color. God bless you.
@@creatorwise Thank you God bless you and yours as well. I will check it out.
Amazing how that Cardinal just stands out with how vibrant he looks.
Yes, especially with the snowy background. Thanks for watching and commenting!
nice video...and i love all the nice comments..finally no negativity
Most bird lovers are nice people.
Except for the loud ass jet flying overhead.
ShadowⓋ And the gun shots.
@@sallylanoza2594 Yes-most-see below-SMH
Watching this video MAKES ME SO HAPPY! Wow, its even better than taking prozac!
Thank you, Anne, for this awesome comment!. It MAKES ME SO HAPPY! And I'm sure it is the truth!
I love wild birds, that's great birds, don't know if they love eating dried mealworms.
I love it, especially the cardinals. I actually think the female cardinals are just as pretty as male ones, if not more pretty. When they fly you can see the red streaks in the wings with the brown, looks so cool
Thanks for your excellent comment. That is an interesting take and I will have to agree with you. The female cardinals are simply gorgeous also!
@@creatorwisewhat’s your secret? How do you attract that many birds at once to your area?
@@jacobb8396 I live in a park setting (trailer park), a small wood adjacent, so lots of birds. Other neighbors feed them also. I offer a variety of food, and some birds like the black oil sunflower seed, some like suet, some nyjer seed, some the grape jelly. When my wife was still alive we had flowers and lots of humming birds.
@@creatorwise Hmm, I see. Thank you for telling me. The point is I really love this video and I really wish I can see this many birds of all different colors in one place. Very peaceful and comforting.
I get a lot of birds, but...I always thought the little sparrows, finches, kept the cardinals and blue jays away. I used to see them more..miss them to!
Birds are awesome when I see them in cages it makes me sad. This is what their life should be and how we can be close to them, feeding them and watching them enjoy their lives being free
Thank you! So true!
My cat Kiba loves to watch your bird feeder
cam.
Thanks for letting me know, I would love to watch your cat watching my birds :) Keep your eye on it, it might click "like!" LOL.
those birds have no idea how lucky they are to have you with all that snow on the ground.
You're right, you tube 425. Food is hard to come by when the snow is deep. When they are feeding like this it gets a little expensive, but it's worth it. They are such a joy to watch. They seem to be pretty happy.
it's absolutely wonderful. i live in long island, ny in a pretty heavily developed area and i get mostly pigeons, starlings and house sparrows, gag!
Thank you for your kind comment. It reminds me once again to be thankful for such a wonderful variety of colorful birds frequenting my feeders. Please stop by often for a remedy for your gag reflex.
will do! lol!
Yes you are very lucky as am I, molonlave. I don't take it for granted. I thank God for these beautiful avian creatures. I often have to stop what I'm doing and just watch in amazement for awhile. Actually, we have the Carolina Chickadee too. I can't tell them apart, but the Indiana bird book states that the Black-capped Chickadees are only in the northern third of the state. Thanks for watching. Hope you didn't get dizzy. Lol
It is the only thing I feel jealous about in the world... ppl who have a lot of birds & wild fauna in the garden! 😂
I will be happy to share my birds with you. Stop by often and watch "our" birds.
Love these little guys. I maintain feeders and have registered myself in DC as a wildlife habitat. BTW, I feed the squirrels separately, as best as I can.
Thanks for watching. What a wonderful idea!
What a neat idea.
We have lots of cardinals at the feeders today in the snow. I am adding this video to our playlist on the community today thanks
I am honored! Thank you so much! Enjoy the gorgeous cardinals!
I love the red-bellied and downy woodpeckers that visit the suet cake :)
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment. Woodpeckers are prominent visitors in many of my bird videos. I have some featuring the pileated, red-headed, and hairy woodpeckers, and even the flickers.
Irony of fate, now it's the humans who live trapped in the urban jungle
My cardinals rarely come to the feeder, I leave seed on a wood fence and they love it.
Thanks for watching, Lisa! And for figuring out a way to feed your cardinals!
Lisa Schumacker me too! It’s so frustrating because I don’t like to do the fence or deck railing thing anymore since I saw a fat rat up there once 😨, so now I HAVE to use the feeders and both the cardinal I’ve been feeding for 3 years and his mate never want to use it. They do sometimes, but not often, and it’s really frustrating cuz today for instance it’s -10 and snowing like crazy, and I went outside to put food out before the snow so my birds would have calories and be warmer, anyway, the cardinals came first thing in the morning, as usual they were the first and only birds there and had the feeder all to themselves with a mountain of seeds, and they did the high pitch feeding chirp like 3-4 times and then left, then came back and left again. 5 minutes later all the other birds came and then the squirrels came and all the foods gone and it’s snowing now. So I look outside and the cardinals are in the tree looking sad cuz there’s no food. I couldn’t even do the railing/fence thing now cuz it would be covered in snow again before the cardinals got there
Makes me happy to watch, oh how mankind could learn from them.
love it! I am in Illinois and have these same mix of birds at my feeder this winter. I don't have as good as footage yet as this.
+Arcana7609 Thanks for watching and commenting. Keep your cameras ready, you never know when you will capture some great footage.
Gracias por la ayuda ❤
Wow, lots of Cardinals! I like how all the birds flee when the big old Blue Jay shows up. :)
I remember seeing this years ago and was amazed at how many varieties and how much traffic that feeder got. A lot of people that are starting out in birding would wish for this. Helps that are in a good location too.
Thank you, Whistles, for stopping by to watch again after all those years, and for your kind and astute comments.
i love cardinal!!!❤️
Thank you for watching and commenting, Nishimura. Yes, the cardinal is a gorgeous red bird.
Nishimura Rinka Same and the Blue Jay 😍
That is one beautiful feeder . It feeds so many birds all at once .
i wish my backyard is having all trees like urs....lucky you....
+LOLA'S STUDIO Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, I am lucky and very blessed with all the trees and birds. Lots of leaves to rake in the fall, but it's worth it. I really enjoyed your black-capped chickadee, cardinal, blue jay and dove. You have a very nice setup for attracting and feeding birds, and your tree will mature before long :)
My backyard is facing someone's backyard...hate it. hahahahaha....The lady is watching me when she smokes....She might think" WTH u are doing here, why feeding your birds all the times". U can watch my bird videos if you like. Thanks for replying me. Have a great weekend.!!
+LOLA'S STUDIO You're very welcome. Maybe the lady should put down her cigarettes and learn how to feed the birds. Lol. Yes I will watch some more of your bird videos. Thanks and you have a great weekend also!!
HAHAHAHAHAH xoxo
no
Crikey - what a busy restaurant. LOVE those Cardinals - wish we had 'em in NZ.
Definitely a "fast food" restaurant. Lol. Hey, wish I were in NZ! Glad you love our Cardinals and happy to share them with you. Stop by anytime and enjoy them. Blessings.
Sounds like the blue jays were firing a gun to keep the feeder to themselves
Cardinals and Blue jays,wonderful! They are hungry little critters. LOL.
What a delightful variety of lovely birds.
Man those other birds must be afraid of that blue jay
Mangle Blue Jays are what’s known as bully birds.
Great video of birds. I'm thinking they enjoy the spinning and swinging of the feeder also. You have a good set up for feeding.
Thanks for watching and commenting, photoman. I agree. If they aren't enjoying the spin then they deserve Oscars because they sure are great actors. Lol.
SO jealous! ☺ I'm from Guernsey in the Channel Islands. We don't have these kinds of birds
Thanks for watching. I'm sure you have some beautiful birds that we don't have. At any rate, I'll happily share mine with you...stop by often to watch them. You might also want to check out my Spring Birds Feeding Frenzy for some that are even more colorful.
Those adorable little Finches are doing a grest job eating all the nyger seeds & the darling downy woodpecker is precious.
Thanks so much for watching, commenting and noticing the "side attractions" that most overlook. Made my day!
Looks like you will need to invest in more feeders!!
+Swami Joy sunflower kernal/hearts feeder (even if its only a small one) would be amazing here, if this was me, id trade the black sunflower seeds in the hopper feeder for black sunflower hearts/kernals, yes theyd dissapear fast but alot less mess and the birds would be thankful :)
+Mattfuzzy Does cost a bit more though but well worth the cost.
My cat love this! Thank you ☺️👌😆 for making my cat’s life a little easier in the wintertime. Kind regards from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thank you so much, Camilla, for your very kind comment. So nice to have friends (I'm including your cat) in Denmark! Warm regards from Indiana, USA :-)
Good heavens....that's a LOT of birdseed to buy!
i love this video and so do my cats! i remember when i was a little girl learning my birds, i colored all these birds. to see them all together is amazing! i haven't seen a cardinal or blue jay in years and the woodpecker is so lovely! thanks for sharing. my cats thank you too, they love this!
You're welcome, patricia. I'm glad you and your cats love it. I, too, distinctly remember coloring most of these birds (in the 4th grade). And when the baltimore orioles and rose-breasted grosbeaks (summer birds) surprisingly showed up at my feeders, I knew immediately what they were from that 4th grade exercise. Amazingly, I didn't even have to get my bird guidebook out. Lol. Thanks for watching and God bless you (and cats).
yep me too. i colored the birdies in kindergarden in germany (army brat) and will never forget it. when i saw them in real life for the first time, i knew who they were. i live in idaho now and we don't see cardinals or bluejays much here in boise. there are some woodpeckers but they don't have the full red head like yours do. the woodpecker in your video is just so beautiful.. well they all are. and you inspired me today to go get a treat bell for the birdies i do have. i feed the squirrels too so i hope they won't eat all of the seed. a neighbor of mine had one of his cottonwoods fall down during a wind storm about 2 months ago and it was always full of birds. i was sad because i loved watching the leaves on that tree sparkle in the sun but a plus for me was all the birds came to the tree that is right on the other side of my fence and in the mornings it sounded like a jungle and they were much closer. my cats don't go out much at all so i don't have to worry about the birds and the squirrels are too big and fast for them. lol.. my cats just showed up and want me to turn the birdies on again...
patricia mcdermott Thanks again, patricia. Your last sentence put a smile on my face, just made my day :-) I would love to see a video of cats watching my video. Lol. That would be so cute. I'm glad you have all those birds closer to you now. I would definitely hang that treat bell, and try 2 or 3 other feeders also, and you might have an aviary in your back yard, complete with jungle sound. Be sure to check out my red-headed woodpecker video to see a really full red head, and also I have two vids of the big pileated woodpecker. That loud bird call you hear in this video is the pileated but he never came within view. He does do a surprise cameo at the end of my Fledgling Finch Feeding Frenzy vid. I hope you and your cats will visit often.
creatorwise i bought my first bird feeder today. the chickadees and a woodpecker have started coming to my yard since i put bird seed out. the squirrels come too, this morning i swear there were 7 of them (word must have gotten around) waiting for the peanuts. so i went to the feed and tack store and they had one bird feeder hanging there that was on clearance and it just talked to me. so i'm going to hang it up and sees if more birdies will come. i love seeing all those fluffy little chickadees in the morning in the tree. i love their song too. i never thought the birds would come because i have cats (they are mostly indoor but they do go out with me) and all of the squirrels but they have started and i'm really happy. it's funny because my cats have been watching the bird videos, they just sit and watch the birds outside and looked amazed. i keep an eye on them though. the squirrels they are so used to they don't bother them at all and frankly the squirrels are as big as they are and could probably kick their ass! plus they are faster. anyway, i'm glad that i found your videos for my cats and it made me want to have some more birds in my yard. now i will look for a bird bath.
patricia mcdermott Congratulations, patricia, I'm happy for you. I'm sure the birds will spread the word also, and I hope you have a large variety. Then, when spring arrives you won't believe it. Sorry about those pesky squirrels. They're a problem for me at times. Just stay with it and you (and your cats) will have hours of enjoyment watching these avian beauties. (But don't forget my video, please. Lol.)
i love visiting this place when i'm needing some peace...the flapping and flitting of their wings is so comforting...
Thank you so much for your very kind comment. It absolutely made my day! :-)
@@creatorwise I'm so happy you loved my comment. Your video of these beautiful birds is so soothing and heartwarming. You made my day too, with your thoughtful response! Thanks again! :-D
@@pevensielavere22 Wow! I dearly love this comment as well because you used 2 words that touched my heart, "soothing and heartwarming." I just happened to use forms of those words in my last video, "Carolina Wrens Soothe Broken Heart." I think you would love it. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/VUoRQN89m2E/v-deo.html Be sure to read the Description to see why I am devastated and why I believe God sent those beautiful little wrens along in a very unusual circumstance, just to soothe my broken heart. Kind of like the way your comments are helping me right now! Thanks so much! :-D
@@creatorwise Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. It warms my heart to know you felt touched by the words "soothing and heartwarming." I am going to watch the video you mentioned "Carolina Wrens Soothe Broken Heart." Thanks for the suggestion! I love how you described your belief that God sent those wrens to you just in time to soothe your broken heart.
@@pevensielavere22 Thanks "again" for your very kind sentiments! They are so uplifting! I'm sorry to learn you also are dealing with something similar. It's gratifying to know my videos help. I must give God the credit for that! I do appreciate the balm in your words: "meditate on something joyful...life affirming...brimming with hope...Endless thanks"!!! And to you, likewise! :-D "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" (Psalm 30:5) KJV
So wonderful to watch these birds. I wish we had the diversity in my location here in Everett, WA.
Thanks for your kind comment. I'm very happy to share my diversity with you. Stop by often.
😊
the cardinal just sits there for a second then just goes whatever and flies away
The cardinal is a jerk hogging the perch. I once had a kamikaze cardinal who kept dive bombing into the window, for two weeks!
The Cardinals are gorgeous. We don't have those out here in West Texas. Blue Jays are probably the most colorful birds we see.
Thanks for your kind comment. Yes, when I looked out my patio door, the cardinals are what grabbed by attention immediately, more so even than the feeding frenzy, which was something in itself. I didn't know we had so many male cardinals around and that red was just popping against the snowy background. Haven't had that many since. We were so blessed!
Wow heaven
I have so enjoyed your Winter Feeding Frenzy and Spring Feeding Frenzy videos. I sit outside on my back deck, and play both of them at the same time. The Birds around here, in Raleigh, NC hear the call for feeding and it draws more of them, I believe.
Thanks so much, Sally, for your kind comments. I'm so glad you liked them and they evidently draw some birds in to your feeders. Wow, a novel idea.
The feeder in the center that is getting the most action is filled with sunflower seed (they call it black oil sunflower seed). The mesh sock on the left has thistle seed, also known as nyjer seed. The metal cage on the right has a block of suet in it. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Those cardinals look stunning against the snow. No snow here in the south.
Yes, their brilliant red just pops against the white snowy background. Almost makes me like the snow. LOL.
"Cats love it" I bet they do.
Thank you, Esther, and thanks for your video response on your Yellow-Bellied Sunbirds. It was absolutely awesome. Thanks for investing your time and skill in such painstaking detail. I'm sure it was a "labor of love." God bless you for sharing it.
@ Lee Kay, This was filmed in south central Indiana, near Columbus. Sorry your comment doesn't have a "Reply" link to click on. I don't know why
+creatorwise Are there no squirrels in south central Indiana, near Columbus? The ones in southeastern PA would be living in those feeders. :-)
+Albury Smith LOL! Yes we have lots of squirrels here. Check out my companion video: ua-cam.com/video/oGe51NXXmgE/v-deo.html Fast forward to the final minute. Also see my vid: Circus Squirrel Antics. They must have been taking a siesta, or they may have been feeding on the ground under the feeder at this time. I do spend a lot of time chasing them off my feeder. :-)
+creatorwise Our southeastern PA squirrels NEVER take a siesta, but nine 5" diameter, 2-foot long, 24 gauge stove pipes wrapped around the three 4 X 4 posts bearing my BIRD feeders have finally dissuaded them from climbing up and stealing all of the food, and I now have a somewhat disgruntled (but apparently resigned) ground-feeding squirrel community and much more songbird action. I enjoy all of your beautiful visitors every day, but haven't seen that many cardinals at the same time. My favorites here are the Carolina wrens, downy woodpeckers, and red-bellied woodpeckers on the suet feeders, and the white-breasted nuthatches viewing the world upside-down in quick bursts.
+Albury Smith Would've loved to have seen those squirrels trying to climb the stove pipes when you first wrapped them around the 4 x 4s. LOL. I used to think squirrels and raccoons were cute critters till I started feeding the birds a few years ago. What pests they are now. I love our cardinals but have not seen as many since this vid. You also have a great variety of my favorites too. Thanks for your fine comments.
+creatorwise There were 3 churches and a synagogue in a small Ohio town: a Baptist church, a Methodist church, a Catholic church and a Jewish synagogue. Each church and the synagogue had a problem with squirrels
At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and unfortunately knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Methodist church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creatures, so they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist Church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water slide.
The Catholic church came up with a very creative strategy-they baptized all the squirrels and consecrated them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the synagogue, but it's rumored that they took one squirrel and circumcised him, and haven't seen a squirrel on their property ever since.
That's great so many birds that come to the feeding places with you. I love and feed the birds too. Great video.
Thank you, Beka, for your very nice comment. I'm glad you love the birds and feed them, too. Keep up the great work!
That gets me excited for winter, I am in northern Indiana, so I see the same birds. I do have a live trap that gets House Sparrows as they are invasive. It is a Deluxe Revolving Sparrow Trap if you are interested. I have got a better diversity of birds around my area by eliminating these pest birds. Hope others do the same!
Thanks, steve, for watching and commenting. Just curious, what do you do with the sparrows after you catch them? Release them a few miles away?
creatorwise No problem. Since the House Sparrow is invasive I kill them and the local raptor rehab gladly excepts them. I know it sounds harsh but they do not belong here and can outcompete and kill native birds. I been into bird watching my whole life and hope to have a career in Ornithology once I finish up college. I have noticed a better variety of birds at my feeders by taking care of these pesty birds.
steve kiermaier HOSP regularly kill native species in my neighborhood and I've tried many things to scare them off, but they're so clever, they've even figured out how to get in the nest box holes that are supposed to be too small & killed "my" house wren 2 years ago, that really broke my heart. They are so territorial, they just killed the wren for being in the area they dominated. I like the idea of donating them to the raptor center. I've had to seriously cut back my bird feeding b/c they are so out of control; had to stop for a while after I got starlings, that was really too bad. I bought a sound device that made a starling distress call that scared off starlings but didn't want to annoy my neighbors too much!
Mitzi Dharma
I would highly recommend getting the Deluxe Repeating Sparrow Trap. It can get both Starling and Sparrow and if any native birds got in you can release them. I am enjoying watching all native birds coming to my birders and not seeing a single Starling since last winter and only a few sparrows here and there, usually always getting them if they do come here. Good luck !
steve: Thanks for info about the trap. I'm assuming I'd be able to find it online? I live in the city and the "English Sparrows" are awful. They mob the feeders, toss the seed (at least the juncos eat the ground seed,) attack other birds, kill native birds, prevent wrens and chickadees from taking care of their babies, toss baby birds out of their nests, etc. I love it when the Coopers hawks harass them. Unfortunately, the slower mourning doves usually end up being lunch. :(
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THESE VIDEOS, my mother in law is 97 and can’t go out much so she enjoys seen these it is so relaxing
You're very welcome and thank you for your kind comment. God bless your mother-in-law, I'm so happy she enjoys our birds! Made my day!
Wow! What beautiful birds!! Very nice!
Thanks for watching, Shivani Shivmangal, and thanks for your kind comments. God bless you!
Feeding frenzy is right! What a great arena you've built for them. They're so lucky to have you in their neighborhood.
Thank you so much, I Have Birds, for watching and for your kind comment! And I feel very lucky and blessed to have them also :-)
That Red cardinal...is dominating the feeder,love it!
In the Sierra Nevada, CA, lm too feeding birds. Thank you for sharing and posting their names too.
You're welcome and thank you for watching and for your kind comments.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
The red of the Cardinals really pop against the white snow. I don't see multiple male cardinals at the same time only one mating pair at my feeder. Typical Bluejays at the top of the pecking order.
@N.E.gardening, yes we are blessed with lots of bright red cardinals that "pop" (I like that verb) against the white snow. I counted 5 out there today.
@Donna Cundy, I live in Indiana, south central, near Columbus. Yes that is the Pileated you hear. Check out my woodpecker vids. Thanks for watching!
WOW!!! beautiful birds wonderful nature
Thank you so much for your kind, enthusiastic comment!
this is by far one of the best videos I have seen! Great job.
