I have many, many cardinals in my yard all year. I feed them black sunflower seeds in feeders and on a giant boulder. I also spread seed out on a concrete bench in the winter. I’ve also worked hard to create a lot of cover for them by planting all kinds of evergreens and shrubs. I love to watch them feed and listen to them sing. They truly are delightful.
tammy haynes beauty 👍😊
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about bird houses designs try Debuncar Amazing Aviary Aid (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
I live in central North Carolina and you know that is the heart of Cardinal country literally every single Saturday I go to this one restaurant called Hardee’s, and I almost always greeted with one or two Cardinals usually a male or male and female and I live literally 10 minutes down the road so I was like I need to have Cardinals in the yard. I also saw two in my backyard and we first moved in a couple of months ago so I know they’re there. I just bought a house a birdhouse feeder, cardinal phone, but I want to track all types of Bernie’s I love birds, but 100% would love to see beautiful Cardinals in my yard every morning, the fall and I notice or fall is coming now starting to be way more than I usually are abundant
beautiful, so happy for you. be sure to have a nice platform or hopper style feeder , Cardinals are ground feeders by nature so we have to have a secure stable feeder. Also place it near cover until they feel safe. enjoy. Bob
Cardinals are shy. They are easily spooked. Black oil sunflower seeds they can’t resist! 👍🏻
I grew some black oil sunflowers this year just for them. All bird welcome of course
That’s what I was leaving out but I didn’t see any cardinals or blue jays come.. a lot of other birds tho. All beautiful of course
Cardinals: First one to arrive in the morning and the last to leave at night-Never were more true words spoken. I have one at my window at least twice a day. He used to irritate me but now I look forward to seeing him. 😎
Everett White beauty 👍 they are wonderful to have around. Enjoy! 👌
Adult coloring Jamie that’s wonderful, my mom loved the cardinals also, thank you for sharing, Bob
Love! In Maui, Hawaii and in Cardinal Heaven. I love them and have them year round. Mine was accidental then is turning into a lovely hobby. They are such great parents too. Shy, yes!
MauiGirl 888 very shy, 😎 we love them too! My mom loved Cardinals and would talk to them as she tended her garden. 🥰😎👍👌🇨🇦
There are many components to creating an amazing design. One place I found which successfully combines these is the Aviary magic method (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the most incredible course that I've heard of. look at this super website.
Is there a way to attract cardinals in Maui? I was going to put up a birdhouse and was hoping to attract a cardinal.
Without knowing it, by spreading sunflower seeds and nuts on the ground to feed the squirrels, i've attracted cardinals, blue jays, doves, juncos that all prefer to eat on the ground. Then i bought different bird feeders that i filled with sunflower kernels, and added a bigger perch, but the Cardinals aren't interested. How strange is that! My efforts to please the carninals weren't wasted since yellow finches appeared.
So fun, nature Leads the way, enjoy, 😊👌
Thank you so much! After attracting Golden Finches I would love Cardinals. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and can't wait to have more birds in the yard !
Kira Tuba beauty 👍 , let me know if I can help in anyway. 👌😎
I have a pair in my backyard that recently had a baby. Had to 'rescue' ot from 2 very curious dogs with no injuries. Twice now this has happened. I almost have mom and dad birds comfortable enough with me around they don't fly away so quickly now.
Beauty, great job! 😊👌
I officially have a couple cardinals in my yard. The mockingbird is trying to chase them away but they are still hanging out here. I am in love with them.
Bee B beautiful 😎👍👌 enjoy, they are starting courtship for this year, I fact I did a little section on that this morning on Instagram stores 🥳🥳
I chase away the mockingbird by spraying with water
there is a family of cardinals in my backyard
I put out cracked corn for the juncos and the cardinals love it! Usually I feed them back oil sunflower seed and safflower in my feeders though. Cardinals like their privacy.
Man ur canadian af....nice
bro are you serious bro? ? Thanks, 😊😉🇨🇦😎
I thought so too. Always makes me happy to see another Canadian ❤️🇨🇦
LIVE IN BAYTOWN CARDINALS BIRDS LOVE CRUSHED PEANUTS THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND SWEET 🐦🔥🐦🔥🐦🔥🐦🔥🐦🔥❤❤❤❤❤
They are the best for sure. , thank you , Bob
Great video thanks but the wind sound drowns out some of the info at times
Sorry bout that,
I spread black oil sunflower seeds on the ground and in my ceramic feeders. The female sits on perch and male on ground. Cardinals get skiddish.
They love the flat surface that simulates the ground for sure. 👌👌🥳enjoy
In Florida ..throw some black seed out and 10 minutes later you have cardinals eating it🤣😅🤣😅
Very nice man. And smart
🙂🙏🙏
Took your information and applied it to my yard. Had the one or two going to the feeder, but when I started to spread it out on the ground" Ka pow". Now not uncommon for there to be 8 to 10 males, and 8 to 10 females at their morning and evening feedings. (Just make sure to put out enough for the squirrels that will show up)
Rosepetal Drone beauty 👍👌 enjoy, glad it helped. 😊
3:36 sounds like a hurricane or something like that 😂
I also needed help with feeding Cardinals and other stuff with them. Thanks
Gavin Does Stuff crazy wind that day, nice and bright but cold, 👍
Do cardinals mate for life.
Hi Julie, thank you for your question. Before DNA testing it was always suggested so, yes, how ever it has been determined that both male and female Cardinals will have eggs with other mates , then returning to the original partner. ,, Bob
I've never seen a bag of corn labeled steel-cut. I know what cracked corn looks like and what steel-cut oats look like, so assuming it's similar in appearance to the latter.
Is there a common brand that you recommend over others? Or do I have to scour all the ingredient labels specifically for steel-cut corn? I'm in the U.S. (Michigan).
My girlfriend has a white cardinal in her back yard that I saw while cutting her grass the other day…. No one else saw it so I’m determined to put seed out and hopefully he’ll show back up soon for her.
That is awesome, that is called Leucism, it’s lacking the pigment that make colour, happens fairly frequently but is still so incredible to see. 😊👌 thank you for sharing. Bob
This was helpful. Thank you. You started out by saying location was very important, but then you talked very little about location specifically. By the location of the Cardinal feeder behind you, are we to assume that a good location is in the middle of the yard, away from trees and bushes, and about 8 feet off the ground?
morning, thank you , each circumstance is different for sure, the feeder set up we have here is good because there is great cover on both sides of the yard, also we have been established here for several years, two generations of Cardinal families. Experimentation with location will show you the best spot as feeder visits increase. thank you , Enjoy, Bob
Also ceramic bird feeders.
We a have tons of cardinals but they barely ever land they only fly over our yard
20 subscribers No videos they love heavy bushes and shrubs, cedar hedges etc, does your yard have that, do you hear them singing. 👍😊 beauty bird. They are also mostly ground feeders, early morning, late afternoon. Enjoy, , thank you ,, Bob
Gilligallou Bird we have all of it but I think other birds hog all the spots
20 subscribers No videos lol 👍 a good problem to have. 😊 enjoy.
If you build it they will come
Indeed 😎👌
What did he say when the wind picked up?
I love cardinals but many squirrels come when I spread food for them, and they’re very mischievous 😏
Boss, I need your help. I am trying to feed cardinals from my NYC fire escape. There is a huge park across the street and I see cardinals frequently but how to I get them to come to my feeder? Unfortunately I have reflective casement windows so this is what may be spooking them but I'm still trying to figure out a way to feed these beautiful birds. Also, to complicate the matter, what can I feed the cardinals that both house sparrows and pigeons won't eat? I want to keep the invasive species away and feed the cardinals. With whole peanuts I've been able to feed blue jays and downy woodpeckers and the pigeons stay away. Now I just want to be able to feed cardinals too. Thanks.
Depending on the height of your feeder, and distance from the trees, you might be out of luck. Here are some of my own notes... 1) it took the birds 2-3 months to even locate our new feeder, so don't lose patience. 2) Cardinals eat black oil sunflower and safflower seeds. You don't need to buy any of those special mixes, you can just buy these seeds in bulk. 3) this is the one that might affect your success on your NYC fire escape. Place the feeder near trees/brush, and other types of bird-friendly cover. Our feeders are 10 ft away from a row of trees. The birds line up in the trees and take turns at the feeder. Sadly on a NYC high rise, it just might not be a natural location where Cardinals will notice your feeder, and it might be too far away from their comfort zone. I don't mean to be a party pooper, just trying to give you realistic expectations. Good luck!
Rick Leitch To my surprise, mother cardinal made a nest in my balcony under my umbrella. I 'm living in condo and have no yard. I love birds, but rarely see them. I didn't try to attract any birds since I 'm renting. The nest has three eggs in it. Since I noticed her eggs I started to feed them( mother And father). She eats her seeds and flies to her nest. Seating there all the time, hardly go anywhere. I trying to avoid going to balkony as much as I can to not scare her. I see it is too hot for her because of strong afternoon sun.
@@liluniadomoczowski5783 I'm glad you were successful without even trying! It is so special that you get to witness the circle of life, of such a beautiful bird, so closely. Since my previous comment the food we provide in our feeders has evolved a little bit. We now exclusively feed shelled sunflower hearts (to prevent waste building up below the feeders) mixed with blueberry suet nuggets. I fear this new food combination has been a little too successful and we've robbed our neighbors feeders of all of their birds.
I bought safflower seeds, sunflower seeds, and those meal worms. Not a single cardinal bird since morning. 😔 not even any kind of bird has stopped by. I wonder why
Yan Sfor the wonders of nature? Hard to determine, so many influences. Where are you?
@@gilligallou I'm from Arkansas. I use to have food for them, but then I stopped for awhile. I wanted to prepare for them a water foundation for them. With food and this year I have an apple tree ready.
Yan Sfor very nice, it may take some time for them to find your food again, ? 👍
I had 5 of them today in freehold nj
That's pretty cool, I've seen some a lot lately.
Do cardinals like watermelon3
Good question, they are a seed eater, berries, ? Ant’s would be all over it likely? You could always try. 😊👍
My adventure with the tree began with projects from Stodoys.
Too bad about the wind noise, otherwise it would have been an excellent vid.
Peter Szarow yes I must redo that video, it was several yrs ago, need to up grade, thanks
I want cardinals to come so very badly but the kind of feeder you describe would never work... I'd go broke because the stinking squirrels would empty it daily! :(
j lloyd we have a pole system that can stop squirrels, a couple video here show cases them. Like the one in this vid also. We can help, Bob
What i find to be most important to cardinals is keeping the feeder close to cover - shrubs, cedars, spruce etc. I use a squirrel proof feeder that my cardinals love. Brome Mini. Cheapest one you can buy at $35. Other Brome models just as good for a little more and hold more seed - brome legacy, standard etc. You get the most bang fir the buck with this feeder because it has perches ( fir cardinals)and also a wire frame for woodpeckers, nuthatches etc.
Squirrels ruin everything.
I have 1 cardinal that comes to my yard.
I have a lot in my yard now
I don’t understand the climate change reference. I’m in south Texas and have cardinals all over front and back yard.
It’s our climate that has allowed them to expand Further north into Canada over the last few decades. Thank you , Bob
Will you repeat what you said? All i could hear was the wind.
bad sound
Horrible Audio, Good bye😮
It was a hard day to film, old video, I should redo it, 🤦👍
Way too talky. Get to the point! Also can't hear much of it after 3 minutes or so because of all the wind.
hillock10 hey, thank you for you feedback, 😊👍
Windy
I know, sorry 👌
Lisa Schumacker 😏 I know, sorry bout that,
My daughter saw 10,000000 female cardinals and 100,000000 male
I saw a Gigabillionyillionthousandzillio birds so yeah we both lying 😂
Speak English, man...!!!!
