Dude same, I have one in my backyard that sounds like a loud alarm clock. I had no idea what kinda bird it was until I saw it yesterday. I had no idea a Cardinal could make that loud and annoying of a call lol
The first call is the one Carl(that's what we call him) makes when he comes to our kitchen window twice a day for peanuts,we say "Carl's here" because we know it's him and we throw him peanuts which he then takes and feeds to his mate Carla(That's what we call her) who waits near by for him,he feeds her first every time then gets his fill.They been coming to our house for every day almost 2 yrs now so I can tell you from experience,they're really cool birds to watch once you get to know a couple of them and see how much they care for each other.
You are so right.... not that it matters, but I've been watching the couples for a few years now & really really respect them. They stick together no matter what & take care of their kids together also. Mostly, it's the male that I've seen teaching their children how to eat & learn. Doesn't matter. She's probably back at the nest with another batch for him.
I lost the love of my life, 18 years together, he passed unexpectedly in October he was only 36... I hardly remember a time in my life he wasn’t there, and at least once a day I think about the first time I saw his blonde curly head over the school bus seat in 7th grade. Every time I hear and see the Cardinals in my yard, I think of him and I know somewhere that beautiful bird will fly to it’s mate, I hope that’s how it is when I die, I’ll fly right to him for eternity. For now, I have our son and that’s what I live for ❤️ 🪶
❤️ I lost my darling three years ago to sepsis, and took me a couple of months before I could even feel like living, but now I have new friends and their needs are what propel me onward.
Cardinals are said to be a sing a loved one is near and ever since my dad passed I’ve heard one staying near his house. This video let me know the sound I’ve been hearing is a cardinal
I have a female cardinal in the trees outside by my bedroom and for over an hour she has been making the high pitched "cheep" sound. It was driving me nuts at first because I couldn't see her to identify it! 😃
Not that you'll read this 5 years later but I have a male cardinal (They are the red ones, btw) and he comes to my bird feeder every morning (before sunrise) and every night at dusk making this sound. I love it. I think I'll name him haha
Thank you so much for posting this. This is my fave bird and I never heard it sing before today! I was out walking my dog and heard the most beautiful call and lo and behold there she was all by herself! It's always a treat to see a cardinal.
Literally just had one kome look me directly in the eye while smoking 🤣 was the best experience ever and the only reason I’m watching this right now 😂 I started playing the sounds to make it kome back but I hear it responding now 😫😂
Love these😔Sadly the sound of birds is not that many anymore! I never realized this until I started listening to these. I live deep in the woods too! This made me realize just how much I miss them😧
Nice job capturing the video and the audio! When I hear them in Southern Ontario Canada, they often sound like they're singing, "Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird". Your first one has the "Pretty Pretty Pretty Pretty" going on. I heard one today and thought how terribly LOUD from such a small creature! Just as in one of your video captures, there were two birds, a couple hundred yards apart, singing their hearts out. Thanks for your video! :-)
Thank you for this. I`ve had a male for years at my window every morning and feed him every day and sang back to him always and never noticed the rrrrrr at the end. Too bad I can`t roll mine tongue darn it :) He wakes me up before daybreak and outsings the morning dove. I can time him and so I have to wear earplugs but he`ll still peck at the window anyway. If I feed him too early than the racoon gets it and too late, the squirrels and chipmunks that are all named each year, all year for the squirrels get it if too late as well. I feed them all twice a day anyway and more:))
Mine gets to be a pain in the neck for years now, waking me up before daybreak but I love my Pretty Boy and he always answers my call if we reply together and fly at me too. Just wish he would cool it sometimes so I can hear the others:) lol
The cardinals by my house have developed a completely rendition this year. A few weeks ago it was almost like they learned a new language and are being very careful to enunciate the new syllable very clearly. If they don't get it right they start over. Even though the second part sounds the same as usual, like the ones in this recording, the beginning is so very different this year that I wasn't able to identify the bird with absolute certainty by it's call alone and had to see it to confirm it.
i have one in a bunch of trees that run up against my backyard. i watched him today with binoculars and saw him sing. it was so awesome. i love that bird. it made a bird watcher out of me.
We have one that lives in our trees right now and he cracks me up... he sounds like he is saying pur-dy, pur-dy, pur-dy.. even he knows how "pretty" he is
I heard the cardinal that lives on my property sing a pretty complex and beautiful set of chirps. I was looking for it here. I recognized one call (3rd I think) on this video usually warrants a duplicate response. perhaps a location/monitoring application between mates or older chics w/ mom also. Those calls have a meaning to them. What a wonderful creation.
I can hear blue jays in the background during the 3rd call. Cardinals are my favorite though. We usually have a male and female cardinal that follows him after he’s been in the yard for a minute or so. Fun watching them together.
I have to correct what I wrote earlier; I heard song #4 just today, in mid-July. Maybe it's not a mating call. On the other hand, I've read that cardinals can have two broods in one year, so maybe someone is seeking a second wife for nest #2.
Debra Walker Don't know, but I did get to capture an alternate call from a #cardinal I labeled "Switchback" - th-cam.com/video/yq_03BLRUg4/w-d-xo.html and you may also like this one - th-cam.com/video/fYxc-C3Fm6o/w-d-xo.html
One wife for life - that's their principle! ))) I am lucky to get a pair, settled a nest just behind my powder room window. Eggs laid. Female is on them. I try do not bother her and stopped a usage of that room. Tiuuu-tiuuu-tiuuu...vit-vit-vit-vit-vit That was his song this spring ... cool!!!
I put out a bird feeder with cardinal food / seed and they still found my yard even though I live in the middle of a city! There's a family of them living nearby and I hear them every morning. I love them ♥️
Same here! The male comes first always...then the female shortly follows..and then babies. :) I love them all. (I also have bluejays, sparrows, robins, etc....)
I grew up with birds in Ohio. One that always caught my ear was the "birdie birdie" song. This is made by the Cardinal sometimes called Red Bird. Today I was reminded of those sweet calls while setting on our patio in Southern California.
Oh my God I finally found out which bird makes that noise. There's one call that is ubiquitous any time I exist in the summer. They all make two rising whistle noises, then a tweet tweet tweet tweet and then a little falling doo doo doo and that's basically the only bird I ever hear.
I often hear kind of a mix between the fourth one and the second one... Usually it's two longer calls from the fourth one, and then a bunch of quicker repeated tones that kind of sound like the start of the second. It kind of sounds like peeeew, peeeew, tweetweetweetweetweet!
I think that song #4 is a mating call, I only hear it between March and June, which would be the right time to look for a mate. I continue to see and hear cardinals all year long, but they don't make that particular call during the rest of the year.
It's the first of May, and I hear the birds calling around my house all the time. But when I started noticing the call last year, it had been months since I had actually seen a cardinal. My mother had told me she had seen a few jays, but I had to tell her it was the cardinals doing the sweeter and more loquacious calls because jays are closely related to crows and ravens and thus have a "harsh" calls. When I hear the cardinal's calls from inside my house, though, it can get annoying.
I have a beautiful couple that stops by several times a day It seems as though they - especially the female - makes repeated single peeps until I look out the window and say hello !😆❤️😆
Would it be ok if I used a 3 or 4 second audio sample of your recording for an upcoming Cardinal video I'm working on? I can give on-screen credit to your channel as well as a link in the description. Let me know if you would be ok with that. Thanks
I've heard one (in Florida) that calls like #4 high-to-low four times, with the ending of #2 five low durrs. PEE-urr PEE-urr PEE-urr PEE-urr durr-durr-durr-durr-durr. It sounds like a retro video game sound effect, I wonder if he is copying centepede or something?
The one you call "a little different" at 1:08 is their territotial call during mating season here in Md. I have managed aq fair copy and see the results when I do it.
I'm listening to the same call right now in late July in southern Ontario. It's way late for mating season but that is what I normally hear in the spring assuming all along it is a mating call. He's calling loud right now that's for sure.
Thanks for this video. Heard the last call, which I imitate and talk to a bird, but I never knew it was a cardinal I was talking to! Glad to know this.
Project Bolony, love the name and love your video! I appreciate the birds too and I see that you do also! They are certainly beautiful and so entertaining!

I have one that wakes me up pretty much every morning at sunrise. I always say "I know you're beautiful but I need sleep" lol
Dude same, I have one in my backyard that sounds like a loud alarm clock. I had no idea what kinda bird it was until I saw it yesterday. I had no idea a Cardinal could make that loud and annoying of a call lol
No other bird is quite as striking to see (and hear) after a freshly fallen snow.

Nice voice

Aw that's very sweet, I got a good chuckle from this. I know I'm 4 years late but hey
That’s interesting. The cardinals here in northeastern Illinois seem pretty skittish.
Thank you for sharing :) I’ve just heard a new call from a cardinal and came across your video. Thanks!
You are so right.... not that it matters, but I've been watching the couples for a few years now & really really respect them. They stick together no matter what & take care of their kids together also. Mostly, it's the male that I've seen teaching their children how to eat & learn. Doesn't matter.

The male cardinals near me are skittish idk how you got them to trust you!

That's so tragic. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing okay, as best you can.
So sorry for your loss. I lost mine to Covid July 2021 and it’s devastating. We have three kids, and they are my everything now
Wishing you the best 🙏
❤️ I lost my darling three years ago to sepsis, and took me a couple of months before I could even feel like living, but now I have new friends and their needs are what propel me onward.
❤❤❤
I now know who I been whistling with :)
Same thing happened to me. I have been able to do birdie burdie since I was a kid but had forgotten what bird it was.
Exact same thing happened to me! :)
Thanks for the share! I'd never heard the "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" before! That was ADORABLE!
The last call is my favourite, because he sounds like a laser. ☺️
Cardinals are said to be a sing a loved one is near and ever since my dad passed I’ve heard one staying near his house. This video let me know the sound I’ve been hearing is a cardinal
There's a cardinals nest right outside my Window & whenever I play this the two chicks poke their heads out lol
kjothomas That is cool!
Omg that’s so cute
I’m playing this in my backyard and a male cardinal is answering. He keeps flying up into the tree I’m sitting under, looking for the other bird.
😂😂
That's awesome!!!!
The rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sounds like a small laugh. I always laugh when I hear it.
Most times, if other sounds are happening, you really have to be expecting it in order to hear it.
How interesting, all the different sounds from the same kind of birdie.
Mary Smith Indeed it is!
I have a female cardinal in the trees outside by my bedroom and for over an hour she has been making the high pitched "cheep" sound. It was driving me nuts at first because I couldn't see her to identify it! 😃
Not that you'll read this 5 years later but I have a male cardinal (They are the red ones, btw) and he comes to my bird feeder every morning (before sunrise) and every night at dusk making this sound. I love it. I think I'll name him haha

LaChefication No Problem! Thank you! Working on another, let's see what happens!
The male's are the red ones. Females are greyish with a little red.
THESE ARE SO CUTE!! I am from Australia, so I don’t get to hear them 😢, they sound a little bit like a pistol
Literally just had one kome look me directly in the eye while smoking 🤣 was the best experience ever and the only reason I’m watching this right now 😂 I started playing the sounds to make it kome back but I hear it responding now 😫😂
😊
I know this was 2y ago but this made me laugh out loud omg 💀😂
WAIT, SO THAT'S THE BIRD I'VE BEEN HEARING ALL THIS TIME!? I THOUGHT THEY ONLY CAME IN THE WINTER AND SPRING, BUT I HEAR THEM ALL YEAR!!!
Love these😔Sadly the sound of birds is not that many anymore! I never realized this until I started listening to these. I live deep in the woods too! This made me realize just how much I miss them😧
I talk to cardinals whenever I go outside,🐤 I whistle and they come sit in the trees be me💜
I always whistle back at them and they sing back at me which is really cool.
Nice job capturing the video and the audio! When I hear them in Southern Ontario Canada, they often sound like they're singing, "Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird". Your first one has the "Pretty Pretty Pretty Pretty" going on. I heard one today and thought how terribly LOUD from such a small creature! Just as in one of your video captures, there were two birds, a couple hundred yards apart, singing their hearts out. Thanks for your video! :-)
Glad you enjoyed it
Cardinals also make a clicking/ticking sound which is easy to recognize.🐦When I hear that I know immediately it's a cardinal and where to look.
Yes
I'm playing this and my cat is so confused lol
Thank you for this. I`ve had a male for years at my window every morning and feed him every day and sang back to him always and never noticed the rrrrrr at the end. Too bad I can`t roll mine tongue darn it :) He wakes me up before daybreak and outsings the morning dove. I can time him and so I have to wear earplugs but he`ll still peck at the window anyway.

I feed them all twice a day anyway and more:))
There are feeders that can make birds safer while feeding. Wish those little folks well, and stay safe...
#4 is the most typical call i hear, the pew pew or chew chew sound, but I think its during mating season mostly.
Am I the only one that thinks the second one sounds like its saying "burrito burrito"
Yeah now I want burritos!😆
omg same lol
The ones by my house do # 4 twice a little dragged out followed by five or six quick high chirps
I love the stick up hair too cute. Lol 😂 sweet birds 🐦
Ooh call #4 sounds like little lasers lol! Thank you for this video!
I started playing this for my cockatiels, and they literally stopped doing what they were doing, and started to chirp back
Cardinal Sound is too good. Very soothing and relax. Wonderful bird.
Mine gets to be a pain in the neck for years now, waking me up before daybreak but I love my Pretty Boy and he always answers my call if we reply together and fly at me too. Just wish he would cool it sometimes so I can hear the others:) lol
The 4th call is what I hear in Central Texas with an added repeated call. That's about it, but I love it.
The cardinals by my house have developed a completely rendition this year. A few weeks ago it was almost like they learned a new language and are being very careful to enunciate the new syllable very clearly. If they don't get it right they start over.

i have one in a bunch of trees that run up against my backyard. i watched him today with binoculars and saw him sing. it was so awesome. i love that bird. it made a bird watcher out of me.
They can sing two notes at once....and more notes then are on a piano keyboard in 1/10 of a second.
We have one that lives in our trees right now and he cracks me up... he sounds like he is saying pur-dy, pur-dy, pur-dy.. even he knows how "pretty" he is
Totally awesome, the Cardinal is so beautiful, all the glory to God.
more like nature and biology but hey still a pretty bird.
Amin
He is sooo magnificent 💜💜💜♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️

I heard this kind of bird call (#4) all the time when I was growing up. It took me years to figure out what bird it was. Thank you for posting this.
Same here
Thank you.Every year. Ours says Pretty pretty pretty pretty birdy birdy birdy

5 o'clock every morning.
I sit on my lanai and play this attracting all the Cardinals. Love it!
That second one sounds like he's yelling "Toledo! Toledo! Toledo! Toledo!"
Mine sounds more like, "burrito burrito burrito... pew pew pew!" 🤣
There was a cardinal on Sunday when I got back from church, It was so beautiful
Oh my God I finally found out which bird makes that noise. There's one call that is ubiquitous any time I exist in the summer. They all make two rising whistle noises, then a tweet tweet tweet tweet and then a little falling doo doo doo and that's basically the only bird I ever hear.
#1 is like he’s saying “Chivo” the Spanish word for Goat 🐐. We nicknamed them Chivos for that sound in Mexico lol
I call the first one phasers on stun. He sounds like a wee Star Trek phaser. lol He is my favourite birdie ever. I love these birds.
Such a beautiful bird I wish
i could spot one! Best Wishes ~ Tom
these birds are beautiful...but if they start singing their songs at 5 in the morning..........
this is so nostalgic to me oh my gosh
I played this for the one singing in my yard in Sarasota. The song is different here, a regional dialect.
My favorite of all the birds 🥰❤️
I just uploaded a video of Cardinals! You have some very nice captures here. Thanks for sharing!
finally found this video thank you was scratching my head wondering what the Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr was hahah from NE Kansas
I love Cardinal !
Take your phone outside and play the cardinal calls. It works well
Always good to hear a #cardinal .
I often hear kind of a mix between the fourth one and the second one... Usually it's two longer calls from the fourth one, and then a bunch of quicker repeated tones that kind of sound like the start of the second. It kind of sounds like peeeew, peeeew, tweetweetweetweetweet!
praise the only true living LORD and GOD bless you all glory be to the HOLY TRINITY forever and ever amen 💖✝️✝️✝️
The cardinals in my yard are going nuts lol:) They don't understand all the fuss!
I think that song #4 is a mating call, I only hear it between March and June, which would be the right time to look for a mate. I continue to see and hear cardinals all year long, but they don't make that particular call during the rest of the year.

when i was little my grandma taught me how to replicate this call :) i miss her
That's cool.
Beautiful Red singer, what a Patience to wait for them to sing, Gorgeous, Very Good Job.
Rosa Romero Thank you!
When the last one played all the animals took off from my property. Rabbits, quails and all the other birds gone. Lol
In North Carolina, cardinals make a call that sounds like “Big-Room Big-Room Big-Room”
My favorite bird!
Rosalie DeGregory cool sunglasses
Rosalie DeGregory Me too! One just flew past me this morning.
Cardinals just have the most beautiful call but then compare them to corvids with their cackling and screeching lol
Even though I’m afraid of birds but cardinals are so pretty
Would it be ok if I used a 3 or 4 second audio sample of your recording for an upcoming Cardinal video I'm working on? I can give on-screen credit to your channel as well as a link in the description. Let me know if you would be ok with that. Thanks
Sure! - The credit would be great. I have a 5th call that I captured and will be coming soon.
Thanks a lot!
Fascinating and beautiful. Thanks for the upload.
I've heard one (in Florida) that calls like #4 high-to-low four times, with the ending of #2 five low durrs. PEE-urr PEE-urr PEE-urr PEE-urr durr-durr-durr-durr-durr. It sounds like a retro video game sound effect, I wonder if he is copying centepede or something?
Yes, often times it does sound that way.
I can't tell what bird sound is coming from outside or my computer! LOL
really love using this when im birding...they are more active and it attracts them like any call...thx
Wow, that is awesome. I never thought that it would work like that. Thank you.
Some of the males in our neighborhood have a call
That sounds like “Bernice” and will be repeated 3 or 4 times
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty chu chu chu rrrrrrrrr
The one you call "a little different" at 1:08 is their territotial call during mating season here in Md. I have managed aq fair copy and see the results when I do it.
I'm listening to the same call right now in late July in southern Ontario. It's way late for mating season but that is what I normally hear in the spring assuming all along it is a mating call. He's calling loud right now that's for sure.
Who else is listing to this hoping cardinals will come ?
Jsbambina416 04 me
Jsbambina416 04 not me I have a couple. Literally =) they're in love haha
Sunflower chips or black oil sunflowers will attract them better than this.
kelly M put out some bird seed with black sunflower seeds! They’ll come (depending if you live in the right area of course
I could sit all day and watch these beautiful birds eat from my bird feeder.
Wonderful performances by the special guest.
I hear the first call (#1) in New Orleans during spring.
Im in my patio listening to this and watching the birds, 👌 THANK YOU 🙏
Wonderful!
I've heard #4 definitely & I'm pretty sure I have heard #2 - I think I would almost certainly remember #1 if I had heard it.
Thanks for this video. Heard the last call, which I imitate and talk to a bird, but I never knew it was a cardinal I was talking to! Glad to know this.
Great Video. I heard the rrrrrrrr on the first one.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing
So thats the bird that makes the "pew pew pew" sounds
There is a male cardinal (perhaps two) living in our woods and he/they always call out with the fourth song.
Beautiful redbirds, they sing their song well. The Cardinal, the state bird of Ohio.
Using this yo attack cardinals to the border feeder. It works. Thanks
Cardinals out my house sound like car alarms
My Cardinals are a mess from the fireworks. I hope they will learn to trust me again.
Me too.
My cats are going crazy🙀..
I learned how to mimic their calls so well they will reply to me.
Wonder if the females have a different song. I only see a female around my yard..never a male.
I hear very high pitched chirping from the females.
Project Bolony, love the name and love your video! I appreciate the birds too and I see that you do also! They are certainly beautiful and so entertaining!
I’ve been looking for the second call forever I used to try to attempt it as a kid but never knew what bird it was. Thank you
#2 is what wakes me up at 5am... I love the bird, but love my sleep more
I played this 3 times on my deck and had a male come to my yard! Thanks!
That is awesome!
