Step One: Live near some big trees! As long as there's some big, older trees in the area, you'll get all kinds of birds. I live in a neighborhood that's about 65 years old now, and the park space next to me still has what's left of the original old oak forest along with some open space that used to be a couple of kid's ball diamonds. I finally put out feeders last year when my wife set up a home office. there's a nice old pear in the backyard tree right outside the picture window in the office that's 1-1/2 stories. The list of birds we got almost immediately is pretty great. Downy woodpeckers Red Bellied wood peckers Northern Flicker Blue Jays Cardinals Nuthatches (red and white breasted) House, Purple and America Gold Finches Chickadees Dark Eyed Juncos Plus all the less "interesting" birds like Red Wing Blackbirds, Grackles, Sparrows, Starlings, Robins, Mourning Doves etc. Still trying to attract the Oriole I see and hear in the area.
Birds are amazing--just another reason for me to not eat eggs (as I have a family history of Cancer the choline in eggs is the other). Great video--thank you
I had cardinal build a nest right in front of my kitchen sink window and had 3 hatchlings. Unfortunately, predators got the babies, so sad. I will grow more shrubs for them.
We had the same thing happen. Blue Jays killed 2 cardinal chicks. We eliminated sunflower seed in our feeders and the Jays left. Cardinals will eat safflower seed.
These are good tips, but you should NEVER leave out yarn or string for birds. Mikey from The Crochet Crowd has some videos explaining the reasons why. The yarn can get wrapped around their legs or feet which can result in death. And if the yarn is treated with chemicals or dyes, it can harm the skin of the babies. I used to throw out my yarn scraps until I learned it was dangerous for the birds.
No special tips needed to attract cardinals. Just grab the cheapest bag of bird seed out of home depot and toss some in the backyard. Boom! you have cardinals and a dozen other bird species. At least that's how easy it was in my yard here in the Southeast.
Thanks for the cardinal feeding tips! Such beautiful birds!

Safflower also is liked by cardinals, chickadees, etc and squirrels dislike it.

Thise are not black-oiled sunflower seeds.
I don't disagree. The image shows sunflower seeds which cardinals also love!
those are striped sunflower seeds not black oil sunflower seeds
Birds are a higher form of life than insects. only humans are the highest form of life in all God's creation.
