You also have red bellied woodpeckers doing calls in the background. Like you, I have a forest edge in my backyard and see indigo buntings often at millet and dried meal worm feeders. The wildlife that has come out this spring has been amazing. We have baby everything right now. From finches to grackles and everything in-between, it's been a fantastic spring here in NC.

I have them but I’m not sure where the best place is to place the feeder. Can I put one on my deck railing or up near the house...or do I need to keep it by the tree line?
You can put it anywhere that's best for you to see it. On the deck is fine by the tree line is good to. I find they feeder they use the most is right at the front of out house quite a distance from their preferred tree line. So my suggestion would be to pick the best spot for you to view them.
I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen this bird at my feeder over the past 30 years or so in Western MD and WV. They never seem to stick around for long. Always assumed they were just passing through on their way somewhere else. Definitely not something that I get to see everyday or even every year. I wish they would come more often.
The first time I ever saw an indigo bunting, it was lying dead on the sidewalk in front of a Menard's store after having flown into the glass. It broke my heart & inspired me to purchase uv bird strike decals for my own windows. The only time I ever see them in my yard is when the orioles are here in May. The rest of the year, they're phantoms.
I am devastated, found a pair male and female indigo buntings outside my window, apparently they both hit my window and were next to each other on the ground 😢 needless to say I got some bird decals to paste on my sunroom but I still can’t believe that happened 😢 hope that gives some people heads up and prevent this from happening
Oh gosh how awful. I wonder if they might have been spooked by a predator like a hawk or cat. Sometimes they just try and escape as fast as possible not paying close attention to where they are going. I'm so sorry. Thats terrible 😥
@@WBUBarrie the nest fell down so I try to put them back to the tree but after two days it fell again so I bring them home,my kids catch grasshoppers and cricket so we feed them for 4-5 days and sadly,They both were dead since it was so cold at night,I though they will be more comfortable without the box I put them in,it rain heavily for 2-3 days,since all there feathers were fully grown I hope they will live,I took there pictures before I burry them,I was feeling so emotional even my kids cry as we dug a pit
I have a beautiful male that came back this summer after being here last year. He even has a girlfriend he brings to the feeders. Ive also been able to call back and forth with the male using a you tube calling video.
Had one in my backyard this morning! I was totally in awe. The most beautiful vibrant blue bird I’ve ever seen. I hope to see more.
Very cool! So excited for you!
I saw last week, wow he was beautiful! Trying to find some info on them. Saw another guy this week. Washington State
I saw this bird one time for 2 minutes. It was stunning!
Yay! They are incredible :)
Pretty cool seeing the red cardinal and indigo bunting hanging out in my backyard...waitin for purple babies to happen 😝
Ha ha that would be awesome :) Glad you are enjoying you birds!
Purple martins

Fantastic. What a lovely memory :)
What part of Cuba?!

Playa, La Habana. I don't remember ever seeing a colored bird in Cuba! That's why I asked.

Good ears! I'm so thrilled to hear about how wonderful the wildlife in your yard is. Sounds like paradise. Enjoy and thanks for watching :)
I've been seeing the ones I've got here actually feeding on the apple and pecan suet blocks. As well as the nijar finch feeder.
Great video, very informative! 💙
Thanks so much!

😢 What a sad way to meet such a lovely bird! But so happy to hear it inspired you to make your home more bird friendly! 💙
I live in GA do you think they would come ?
Absolutely these birds breed in Georgia!
Where are you that would people know where they are nesting at

I hope to attract some to my yard
I hope so too :)
Your neck movement is great 😉
Thanks 😅
I got 2 birdie of Indigo bunting...can I tame them?
Hi there, these are wild animals and should not be kept at pets.

@kiki, so sorry
I am dying to attract these birds.
I hope you do! They are so beautiful!
Nice vid, but you didn’t show any of the birds.
Thanks for the feedback! We didn't have any footage to include but that's a valid point!

Amazing! How awesome that you have a pair (most likely breeding in the area). Aren't they spectacular?!
