As others mentioned yes he is dehydrated and VERY stressed. I'm guessing this was a window strike. And most birds need time too recover when that happens. Best thing you can do for them is put them in a quiet dark place and let them recover. Most times they WILL recover they just need too get over being stunned from flying into the obstacle. Having been in the avian field now for the better part of 30yrs. Working "hands on" with everything from Warblers too Birds of Prey. I've seen my fair share of these situations. However, if the bird doesn't recover i STRONGLY suggest you take it too your local wildlife rehab center and someone will most likely come out too help the bird. Especially, if it has a broken wing or leg. What you can do too make your yard more safe for our avian friends. Is hang stain glass ornaments with suction cups from your windows. The birds will then know it's not safe too fly through because they will visually see the objects. A clear pane of glass means nothing too them and most will try and go right through. I recently had a Red-Bellied Woodpecker do this and he did recover after about 20mins or so. However, he wouldn't leave me and started climbing all over me like i was a tree. I applaud this gentleman for helping our wildlife in times of need.
Find it kind of funny that you're talking about this in the present tense when the video was posted half a decade ago lol. Very informative though, so I'll keep it in mind if I ever come across a bird in a similar situation
@@maralonent6257 I literally agree, which was why I said OPs comment was informative. Poking fun at the fact that they're speaking so urgently in the present tense (and implying the guy who posted the video could still do something about the filmed situation) =/= the information is useless, not at all
I remember a bird that hit a window at work a few years ago. It stood by the window on the ground for about an hour doing a very slow bobble head movement. I could have slowly stepped on it a dozen times as I walked back and forth to my office as I passed it by. (No, I had no intention of doing that.)
One thing to keep in mind with birds. Their panic responce is to become, what appears to us as, very calm. So even if a bird is calm, dont handle it to long.
This reminds me of when a barn swallow was trapped in the store that I work at overnight. I had to catch her because she kept flipping against a window until she was disoriented. I scooped her up in my hands and took her outside. Poor bird but wonderful experience.
He's got his mouth open because he's dehydrated and is probably asking for your help finding him some water. He's overheating. Beautiful bird and I always love seeing someone who shows the kindness youre showing here to birds. Too many people kill birds for their own selfish pathetic hobby. Thank you for showing him a moment of kindness from a human being ❤️ (And if he shows up with his beak open please try offering him some cold water and some shade ❤️)
Bruh shut up😂 nobody is just killing cardinals for fun that’s a felony and if you mean ducks teal and turkey get over it it’s not a hobby we eating them motherfuckers same as I’m sure you eat chicken
I do not think it's dehydrated , its more he bumped into the window that is coincidentally right there. That causes birds to go into temporary shock, and you should not force water down their throats if they have hit a window because you can drown them while in shock.
Poor thing is stunned and in shock, probably struck a window. He does look like he realizes you won't hurt him though. I bet he left once he calmed down. My brother found a bird that knocked itself out after striking one of our windows when we were little. We remembered that our dad told us animals hide in bushes when they're hurt until they get better so he was bringing it over to a large one in the yard when it suddenly woke up and flew away.
My high school team in Northern New Mexico is the cardinal. But they do not live west of the 100th meridian. I was 55 before I saw my first cardinal in New Orleans. I called my mother to tell her how beautiful was this bird 5 feet from me at the bird feeder. There is a huge fine for owning a cardinal. My mother died at 89 without ever seeing one. I did research and the only zoo west of the 100th meridian (about Kansas City) is a zoo in Salt Lake City. Sad that many of people from these western states will never see a cardinal.
Nah, birds hold their mouths open when they're too warm. Considering how stagnant he is, this bird may be going through heat stroke. Which is still pretty bad.
The other day in a bird feed seeder livestream on TH-cam, there's this person in the chat that said "Man! I love birds!" with such passion and satisfaction. Dude, I feel the same way too! Cardinals are too cool, as Blue Jays and the Fio-Fio bird, I'm chilean so the Fio-Fio you can found it here in certain zones of the country. Birds are rad!
Love your country accent. I miss home, miss North Carolina, where I was born and raised.. and cardinals were always around the house along with many other kinds of birds. I watch the birds from my apartment window and the Cardinals are always most easy to spot in the trees 😁
Oh, wow... I'm from California, we don't have Cardinals here... it's almost like a mythic creature for me... wow! Oh, what a beautiful bird! Thank you for being so nice to him!
@@shadowpumpkin1761 That's great... my point is that these are special, magical birds... don't take them for granted, for to some of us they are legends!
We usually see them all the time in the late winter here in southern Maine, but this year I haven't seen a single one. I'm reduced to watching them on TH-cam!
He was overheated and in shock, which is why his mouth was hanging open. He didn't necessarily trust him, it was just that he was incapable of doing much.
Here s my 2 cents, this bird is not stunned or dehydrated, but yes he is sick. Seems to be a problem with his jaw or beak. The poo droppings on the window sill shows that the bird has been there for a while , more than 2 weeks maybe months. He is probably fed by the home owner with seeds so the bird doesn t have to go anywhere else until healed.
Cardinals do have bent beaks though, and the bird poop problem sucks as many birds get in when I have the door open, then if I don't notice sometimes it's a couple days before I go out to the shop and find a bird try to get out the windows where all the poop is, I've actually pressure washed that area 4 or 5 times , had 1 fly in the house to while I had windows out for washing, bird adventures lol
Wayne Larson that’s awesome! I love the cardinal and his mate that live in my backyard, I dunno about the female but the male has been in my backyard now for 2 years- how jealous I am that you got to pick one up! Good on you for helping him out.
One thing to do is to set them on a high place even if its a table or post, setting birds on the ground isn't the best as they're more vulnerable or will feel vulnerable.
"You gotta go, get going", he says to the bird after he opens the garage window, that is full of bird poop on the sill. I don't think that bird wants to go back outside to the world!!!
He's like the Ouzel! if they get frightened they just turn into a stone and become motionless and don't even blink, you can go near and stroke them like you would a cat and they would no nothing. Its fascinating.
The ignorance of this person thinking the cardinal is "friendly" when it's overheated and in shock, likely got stuck and repeatedly flew into the window.
That's a young bird isn't. I have one larger visiting every day with his family while I have coffee on the porch. Usually they chirp loudly. But that fellow couldn't even speak he was so dry. Bird lover from GA.
They only did that because they were overheated and shocked. The bird needed water and/or to cool down. It was letting him do that because it instinctively could not move I believe, not because it was friendly. But it would be interesting to hold a wild bird.
His beak is fine. The bird is panting from being hot and possibly hitting a window trying to get out of the shed. The bird isnt being 'friendly' hes just to confused to be afraid.
That bird was in shock from heat and needed water. Also he was indoors when he should have been out. Cardinals are the last to feed in the evening, and first to awaken and feed at the start of dawn. And that bird poop all over those window sills is a health hazard!
Yep there's calm friendly help me shock and crazy frantic don't help me shock. This encounter was calm. Should have seen the one that got in my house, all the animals chased it till I caught him, that was crazy. Cardinals are just as dirty as any bird,but they are attracted to their own reflections, so they like to sit on vehicles outside mirrors and yep poop on your car. They will also charge at windows seeing their reflection. Have a great day
I get alot of birds in the garage and barns, soon as you leave a door open they try to nest, you are correct, and I've had to pressure spray a few areas many times if I shut the door and don't notice the dang birds in there, have yellow finches do the same thing
I hope he made it. I've had to release some small wild birds from my house that my cat brought in recently. I love my cat but I'd rather not let her torment birds.
When they keep their mouths open like that - they are dehydrated and overheated. He needs cold water.
I was wondering WHY this dude didn;t think of that cuz THAT was the FIRST THING I though too...poor thing was thirsty !!
He's telling him he'll fry up out there. I hope this guy gave him water. First thing I would have done. He's parched ol man.
Was thinking that as well
He didn’t know I guess that he was looking for help
That or head trauma
Overheated and shock. He’s beautiful. Hope he made it.
*JUST HERE TO SEE EVERYONE WRITING THE SAME COMMENT ABOUT HIM BEING HOT OR DEHYDRATED, AS IF EVERYONE ELSE DIDNT ALREADY SAY THAT* 😩🤦🤣🤡

Those cardinals are beautiful birds!
I first saw them on jigsaw puzzles. And thought they were made up. Until I saw a real one.
He talks like Matthew McConaughey, it’s an accent from Texas I believe. What a gorgeous bird! Masha’Allah

Aww, so kind of you to help a poor little bird. Hope he found his way home.
Im so happy to see them almost every day now. It’s a rare sight in Hawaii. Not for me LOL😊👌🏽
LOLLLL i live in pearl city oahu and there was always ONE that would come :,) i definitely miss it :)
I saw one the other day in Hawaii Kai!!! Couldn’t believe it
I believe he is chocking and he is crying for help. Poor baby 😢

I've lived in California almost my entire life from Hemet all the way to the bay area where I live now and I have seen plenty of Cardinals...
There's one male sighting in Van Nuys california summer 2022. Have a photo of it, I do Bird photography.

What a beautiful bird. Who dislikes this?
Green pigs?
XD
Blue jays
Cardinals are aggressive though. All they want to do is crash into peoples' home windows.
Maybe people who think the bird was treated badly, somehow.
This is so sweet ❤️
That's amazing that he'd trust you like that. Of all the backyard birds, they are one of the most shy. In sure you know that already!

No
There definitely seemed to be something wrong with his beak
He was overheating and dehydrated.
@@SuperMarioPlayer98 What a shame...
I found a starling that loves sitting on my lap it takes them awhile to take flight
His beak looked a little bend or broken. Idk if that’s how he’s supposed to be but just didn’t seem right
They do have crooked beaks. But I believe he's still in the yard, we have a few sets of cardinals that home here

That’s the way their beaks are supposed to be. No abnormalities there.
No it is stress because it has a nest so keep it in side
@@kroakie4 I've seen other cardinals. Their beaks are closed for the most part. His was wide open, like something was stuck in it.
Beak open is a sign of fear in birds, must be in shock.
Heartwarming video.
One thing to do is to set them on a high place even if its a table or post, setting birds on the ground isn't the best as they're more vulnerable or will feel vulnerable.
Must've been stuck in there for a while, glad you let him out! Hope he went off to get some water and a cold place to cool himself off.
Such a pretty bird
He left a stunned bird on the ground ! Oh look it's Tiddles the tabby from next door.
Beautifull birds
rw:very cute,1st time i saw that happen.
"You gotta go, get going", he says to the bird after he opens the garage window, that is full of bird poop on the sill. I don't think that bird wants to go back outside to the world!!!
I suppose the beak open thing might be related to the memory of begging his mother for food when he was a chick. Perhaps he’s begging for water.
Nope, it's actually kind of like a form of panting for a bird. He's trying to release heat.
It's so cute!
Awwwww beautiful
Poor thing. He looks stunned.
wish England had bright red birds like this dude :( such a pretty guy
As you overheat you feel warm n comfy after a while n just die to sleep.
If he cools of a bit he should get active.
He was ok to fly away after some water and a little rest
That's amazing
Man: "Alright, let's just put you on the ground."
The cat watching: "YES. PUT HIM ON THE GROUND."
That same cardinal came by my house and borrowed 5 bucks. Never paid me back. Don't fall for his act - he's fine. He's a hustler.
He's like the Ouzel! if they get frightened they just turn into a stone and become motionless and don't even blink, you can go near and stroke them like you would a cat and they would no nothing. Its fascinating.

They only did that because they were overheated and shocked. The bird needed water and/or to cool down. It was letting him do that because it instinctively could not move I believe, not because it was friendly. But it would be interesting to hold a wild bird.

Nice job.

That's sooo cool
Very stressed when they keep their mouth open
They are indeed
they just wanted water they are dehydrated

His beak is fine. The bird is panting from being hot and possibly hitting a window trying to get out of the shed. The bird isnt being 'friendly' hes just to confused to be afraid.
“He’s a pretty guy”
And a few hours later he was dead.
Lol, he flew off ,they nest in the bushes , several cardinals here so who knows 🤣
He’s hungry❤❤❤❤❤❤
They say when you have a close encounter with a Cardinal, it is a dead relative communicating from the Afterlife.
Give that bird some water :-(
That bird was in shock from heat and needed water. Also he was indoors when he should have been out. Cardinals are the last to feed in the evening, and first to awaken and feed at the start of dawn. And that bird poop all over those window sills is a health hazard!
Yep there's calm friendly help me shock and crazy frantic don't help me shock.
This encounter was calm. Should have seen the one that got in my house, all the animals chased it till I caught him, that was crazy.
Cardinals are just as dirty as any bird,but they are attracted to their own reflections, so they like to sit on vehicles outside mirrors and yep poop on your car.
They will also charge at windows seeing their reflection.
Have a great day
The open beak means that I’d overheated and needs a scourge of water
Obviously, that red cardinal was overheating. Should have given him a drink of water.
I did after I got him out, they are notorious for try to nest in the shop if the door is open
This is very interesting because from what I understand, Northern cardinals are not usually this friendly so I'm quite amazed to see this.
He was stunned and hot
Either this bird is very dehydrated, or it had brain damage.
HE NEEDS A DRINK BRO!!!!
People judging by the bird poop on that window seal it probably has a nest in there
