Truly incredible footage. Thank you so much for sharing with us! We were fortunate to be able to see the nest of a Cardinal family through an upstairs window, but were unable to get a good look at the fledglings. It was fascinating to watch the parents take turns feeding them. We noticed when the male was finished, he'd call his "wife" & wait for her before leaving. We never heard the female sing. We were so fascinated by the whole process that of course, we had to do some research to learn more! Thank you, again!
This a very beautiful and adorable video, I'm so thankful you were able to record all of this! Cardinals are such loving and protective parents, and the adults are very affectionate to each other as well. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I went out to my garden shed where cardinals had built their nest in my hanging basket. Protected them as much as I could, kept cats away made it virtually impossible for anything to get in there but a bird I didn't even go into the garden shed for about three weeks. This is really my studio....and progress on everything had to cease by golly we got baby birds being made in there. Been watching the babies for probably 11 days, the garden shed is virtually surrounded by Mexican sunflowers and my garden with feeders water and every thing to accommodate a bird and their family (what bird could ask for more) I enjoyed working in my garden listening to the parents talk about what they are going to feed the younguns so to speak. Went out today and peaked through the screen, THEIR GONE..... :( First I was petrified that something ate them.... But I am sure that momma and daddy has taken them to higher ground. UGH its hard being a God Cardinal parent.....
@@tnynfox1669 Thick plastic fencing was stapled to all openings. and pieces of wood stashed in any corners with holes etc. The baby birds greatest enemy when being in that type of area would be possums and rat snakes which can climb trees and about anything except metal and glass. Of course in the tree nest they have many more predators.
Tracy Heath how many chicks? Where did they go upon fledging? Were they able to immediately leave the shed? What sort of openings did the shed have? Was the plastic fencing useful?
@@tnynfox1669 There were 5 chicks. I saw them often with their parents around the garden after they left. My garden is very dense with Mexican sunflowers, and the shed is covered with Jasmine and Rose of sharon vines, I also have many large oaks that umbrella much of the garden so many hiding places. I feed the cardinals for years in the garden in the same place and I was blessed to be able to see the babies eat at the feeder when they got older. I didnt not see any tearing of the fencing so I am pretty sure that worked. There was a way for the momma to leave the nest with her babies safely as the door was opened early in the mornings and closed at night. I don't believe there was a threat to the babie during the day because of so much human activity during the day. The night time was when they were vulnerable. Hope that helps
I found an abandoned baby Cardinal in the middle of the street. Circumstances prevented me from leaving him so I took him home, expecting him to die within 2 days. That was over 2 months ago. We have released him numerous times. However he keeps coming back. I do a daily Facebook post that has over 300 readers. One of his “fans” gave him a massive cage that is in our sunroom. The doors stay open and he enters and exits as he wishes. He is perched on my iPad as I’m typing this. I think he plans to stay.
He wouldn't leave because he "imprinted" on you. Before a certain age, if they lose their mums, they'll bond strongly to a surrogate and suddenly, you have a child. It's a mechanism of survival. What's his FB page?
T TM i love cardinals! I’ve had a cardinal practically live in my backyard for 3 years now, I feed it etc, but I never know where he has his nests unfortunately, I would love to, he has a mate too, and sometimes I don’t see her for awhile so it’s possible their nest is out of my line of sight in the backyard. Anyways- my whole point in sending this message here was to ask you how your cardinals fared! Did any successfully fledge to your knowledge? That must have been exciting! I’m jealous
Great video, thanks! I've had a nest of 3 that just left the nest in the last day or so. I was a little concerned it was too early but this video put my mind at rest that they're on the proper timeline. Wonderful to see exactly what I've been observing just outside my window.
Awesome video. Thank you. I see these beautiful cardinals at my bird feeder all day every day. I decided to see what their nests and babies look like. I found your video just perfect. Have to find out about the empty nest though.
I have a baby cardinal that lives in my garage right now. I assume he fell out of his nest trying to fly. The parents are still feeding him. As much as we want to keep him for a pet, we really hope he can fly off and live a normal life.
How you can keep bird in garage? They have to be freely hovering in the sky!... if you truly love them--- give them freedom. I see a lot of measurable looking animals in the pet store in the small cages.... hhh
@@lilyk5670 - ? did you not read Jake B's entire post? Baby likely fell out of the nest nearby & hopped into the garage. The parents are still caring for him until he can fly out on his own. I don't think Jake B is holding him hostage.
Would like to know where they made the nest. What kind of bush/tree. I found a young one yesterday and the parents were around and mad/anxious, but I couldn’t find the nest. I know they often nest lower in protected bushes, but it was well hidden. Baby was probably around 7 or 8 days old. Took to a rehabber so hopefully he makes it!
Thanks for the video I found a two baby cardinals in my yard one on the ground and one still in the nest the mother was laying on the ground dead with full of 🐜 so I buried the mom now taking care of the baby’s. Now with this video I have an idea how old they are. I need more info of how to take care of them besides google
Very informative, my wife and I just found a baby cardinal on the road, his parents tried to grab him but with no luck, we tried to look for his nest but with no luck, we aren't near any rescues and the ones we did find are closed due to Corona so now we are hand feeding this cutie mealworms dipped in water every half hour, if anyone has any advice please!!
Chris Draws I have the same problem. I googled it but not much info. I have two baby’s watching this video they are about five to six days old. Need more info
I have a little family in my oak tree. I watched them build the nest and try to teach their first one how to fly. Sadly a snake got it. It was so horribly sad, but I am happy they have a new little one.

i found two that are fully feathers execpt for under the wings i put them in a bucket hanging from a basketball hoop hoping that the parents would come back. were they fledging?
Beautiful Video! I have a cardinal pair that has been nesting in my yard for the last 3 years. Unfortunately I've been seeing a lot of outdoor cats stalking around in my yard near my feeders and trying to catch the birds. I'd be heartbroken if something happened to my cardinal pair or their babies so I hope yours fledged!
I found a cardinal nest only once and it was very hard to get to. I tried to see the eggs (back before google) but has daddy divebombing me so I left them be
Actually I’ve come to find out that Cardinals fledglings leave the nest at 9-12 days. They can’t fly for a couple of days after leaving the nest and they stay hidden in brush on the ground while their parents look after them and teach them to fly
I always make my Sparrows fledge early by accident. Somehow I either walk by or the dog walks by and every year like clockwork I have 5 fat furry birds waddling around my backyard... I leave the parents a plate of mealworms and wetted cat food that they feed them with. This year I might steal the chubbiest one
Jesse in FLA! STOP ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE DOING THIS!!!!!!! Dont touch or steal them!!!! Why would you want the chubbiest one? Planning on eating him or feeding him to something?

@Yuliana Contecha ] Crows love to hang out by the nesting grounds. We have a Cardinal nest in our bush tree. Right out our front door, and watch them daily. This is about day 6 right now, and crows are around. I hear crows sounding off all over the place. Many birds are about to leave the nest around here. Crows are the REAPER!!!
Actually I’ve come to find out that Cardinal fledglings leave the nest at 9-12 days after being born. I have been observing a nest in my backyard and they left today. They were in the nest looking like the fledglings in this video on day ten earlier today and now the nest is empty tonight. I did research and they leave the nest this early, the parents still care for them for about another week and they can fully fly within a couple of days of leaving the nest
Aww great footage! I love cardinals so much
Me too!

How did you exclude predators? Methods? What kinds of predators did you think could get in anyways?

It’s always amazing for me to see them bring back three worms each time, and make sure they each get one. SO cute!

I love your story this is so beautiful and heart felt! Thanks for sharing it.
How’s he doing?
chip5256 could you help me i found a baby cardinal as well and i would love to learn how to care for it properly
Aww such good parents!! Lots of healthy worms for their babies 🌹🌹🌹
Beautiful video! Thank for sharing! Amazing Cardinal family.
Amazing!! We love Cardinals :)
Eat, poop, sleep!! Admit it guys; we've all been there! LOL
They've grown a lot bigger, and their wings have grown back.🤗
Thanks for the video. My 3 yr old grandson and I spend the days watching birds at our feeders. Now we now males aren't born with the bright red color.
I enjoyed your video so much.We have a nest of 2 and now they are on day 10. We are so excited to see they're growing and about to leave the nest.

... the moment Mama Cardinal realises that she is being filmed...!!!
she stares at the camera :) they're so CUTE
Very nice video! I have a nest of 3 that just hatched today by my backdrop. Your video gave me a good timeline on what to expect 😉

Jake B was the time

Just FYI, it's illegal to catch, kill or keep (cage) a cardinal

It's like " bud I'm getting cleaned up, like it or not- plenty of water for both of us."
I have one in my lemon tree. Momma bird and I have become used to each other. It is really cool.
What is empty nest syndrome mean? Did they get eaten by a predator?
Wow that's really good 🙂

Very nice video. Thank you for sharing!

Are those baby birds pooping and then the parents are eating it after they feed them
They sure are!

Lovely 😍
why empty nest what happened ???
Nice video ..
What happened on the 12 day?
So they're ready to leave the nest after only 12 days! Or did something happen?
I have a little family in my oak tree. I watched them build the nest and try to teach their first one how to fly. Sadly a snake got it. It was so horribly sad, but I am happy they have a new little one.
Hate snakes
DaD Cardinal colors 😍😍
I notice how well the nest is hidden.

Got two growing in front of my trailer, momma bird always scares the shit out of me when she runs away
woahhhhhh....are those white sacks their "poop"? That is so bizarre. is the video sped up, or does their poop come out that fast?
Is "empty nest syndrome" just another term for "the chicks have fledged"? - or does it mean something more sinister as "syndrome" suggests?

What is the white stuff the birds keep removing? It's not shell or poop. Hmmm
It’s poop
That was a nice video, I enjoyed it! What kind of camera did you use, and how did you secure it in the tree/ bush?
Redeemed1621 Thank you! Believe it or not it was filmed on and IPhone 6 and the mounted shots were done with a gorilla pod.
Redeemed1621 It was filmed 1080p at 60fps
Oh okay I'm surprised that a phone camera worked so well!
Video yang indah, saya menyukainya, salam dari Indonesia
Hello, Who's licensing this footage on your behalf. I wish to include this footage in TV programme. Cheers, Martin
I have never been able to find a Cardinal nest, they hide them so well.
Cantinya om

It is so hard to find cardinal nests here. I've literally on seen two in my entire life. And there's plenty of cardinals around. No lie!
joohsay thats because the hide their nests in bushes so they might be difficult to fine
My baby's when I feed them worms, there happy
you can see the dad for a little while on the top right. 8:27
Mom also, top center soon after.
@@aquaclover1899 yeah
😍😍😍
It's sad to say this but I'm pretty sure that these three babies ended up in a crow's stomach.They were not ready to fly yet at day 12.😔

You stole your cover photo from my facebook!
......and you got your peanut butter all over my chocolate!
It's kinda dumb how it takes food out of the baby's mouth
I love these birds! A few months ago I accidentally ran over and killed one, and it gave me extreme bad luck! I learned my lesson to look more careful
Omg this where the part where the dad eats the baby's poop 2:50
They wasn't old enough to leave the nest yet!!! Something got them, I think I know who did!!!!!!
