Bird Watching is said to be one of the most relaxing and peaceful hobbies that anyone can do.
hehe Charlie the cockatiel is sitting here with his head cocked…wondering where the noise is coming from
A female cardinal flew into my front door yesterday; it broke it’s neck from impact. Very sad to see it gasping for air in her last moments.
this bird is magnificent o.o
I have a cardinal video up too, and it doesn’t sound the same as this song. Are there different kinds of cardinals or is there a reason why this one has a different sounding song?
@MidwesternWhisper Cardinals compete against each other to impress a female. Every male has a different song – and they are able to learn new parts. Yours has a very simple song. As I already wrote I was able to teach a mocking bird in Florida the song from a german Nachtigall (nightingale) by playing it over loudspeakers in the backyard for days.
You may try to play the sound from my video to your cardinal. Perhaps he will pick it up after some days…
@InventorWillimczik Dang. Thats very interesting! Teaching wild birds to sing new tunes? Never thought such a thing would be possible, but it’s so intriguing I might attempt it!
the cardinal in my back yard answers this video.. hes got babies somewhere in the yard too
ooooo
I had this fluffy little stuffed cardinal, that made this same song, except with two longer coos before the shorter ones repeated 3 times in the speaker.
I wish we had Cardinals here.
The Cardinal is the statebird from Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia, he is very popular.
In richness of plumage, elegance of motion, and strength of song, this species surpasses all its kindred in the United States. It is known by the names of Red-bird, Virginia Nightingale, Cardinal-bird. It is very abundant in all our Southern States, as well as in the peninsula of the Floridas. In the western country a great number are found as far up on the Ohio as the city of Cincinnati, and they extend to considerable distances into Indiana, Illinois and Missouri.

Do your neighbors love you as much as my neighbors do?
All I have are bird feeders and they want to lynch us!
beautiful!
correction, i’ve study birds for 13 years. the sound the bird is making isnt singing, when it sings you’ll notice it, this bird is callig for eiter its young or call for others. some will reply back in the same tune basically saying ‘im here’
That’s interesting. The Cardinals here never sing like that. They just make a kind of chipping sound.
i had the volume at max lol, try it
Anybody know what that background sound is @ 0:30?
@odogg1990 i fully agree. i’ve heard this call numerous times and everytime another cardinal in the vicinity will respond with the same call. it is a thing of beauty to experience and i never grow tired of hearing it.
@ArnoldSchwarznigger sounds like a mourning dove to me. i’m pretty sure that is what it is.
good to see a bird with freedom
It’s the red Angry Bird!
In Illinois where I live, the cardinals sound way different.
Like Cheer cheer cheer perchyyy perchyyyy!!!!!
PEW BUDDIBUDDIBUDDI~
@robway9
