Cardinal feeding baby birds - Awesome!

[pawniarddagger1]

That is so cool, I wish cardinals lived in the bay area

[MegaOnlyme21]

@Makoce

also the male has a black spot under

his peak, the female is a brownish

[MegaOnlyme21]

@Makoce

No, the male has a hood.

[Makoce]

That's a male. Herpderp.

[XxxJustinBieberxx1]

it looks like the mother bird feed the bird on the left more then the right :(

[hylianprincess7]

Did the one on the right survive?

[Snakeoil8]

No, birds do not "boot" their babies from the nest to make room for more. That is a myth. They always wait until the babies are old enough to leave on their own. These babies were either taken from the nest by a person or tossed out by a predator. To toss their babies onto the ground would be to ensure they are killed, and that would not be good for the continuation of the species.

[brian2010lal]

stupid question : So if this is the father..where is the mom ? :)

[brian2010lal]

lo @0:01 Nice camouflage :)

[YoungSasukeOfTheLeaf]

The red cardinals are the males

[TheSalamance101]

its all cute and stuff.... then you realize its throwing up into the baby's mouths....

[okley0523]

St. Louis Cardinals GOGOGO

[kendallbob]

AWW

[anm94]

are those baby cardinals

[huskykeeper]

i feel bad for the 1 on the right..... SHE WONT FEED IT D':

[HaiiAndrea]

why didn't she feed the one on the right?! POOR BABY :(

[Karmolette12]

I see that bird all the time. It so beautiful!

[Supersoldierx1]

i saw a cardinal in castle crashers

[HarleZelraH]

what the mama dint feed the bird on the right onley 1 time thats not fair

[6400az]

An excellent example of parents continuing to take care of their young even after they fell from nest. Does'nt always happen but here they are making the effort. The problem is these babbies are too small to clamour up branches, so predators are a big problem for them.

By chance , do you know if the female sat over them at night them at night. They do this while still in the nest , interesting to see if they did it on the ground.

[Ingriiitaa]

i feel bad for the bird in the right.... no even a single worm..

[MidwarsRS]

The one on the right is adopted to be honest

[ceecase]

nice

[midnightbunny18]

omg why are they on the ground x.x

[swanee123456789]

r those even baby Cardinals?

[Dusty2K6]

Is it just me or does the one on the right keep getting the shaft? :P

[Wesley683]

lol the birds just go :O :O :O :O

[driewe]

Amazing that the male cardinals are so attentive to their young!

[leez92]

Blue Jays will raid nests of other birds and target eggs or babies that recently hatched, I doubt this was the work of Blue Jays. Cardinals and Blue Jays don't fight over resources; food or nest spots so there are no turf wars between these two. A hawk would more likely try to catch and eat a parent. However one animal that most people viewing this video would not consider, I have my vote is a squirrel. Search for "death of a cardinal"

[floratink]

Why didn't the bird on the right get any food?

The left one received more food :s

Why would a mother bird do that? Is that normal?

[cyclonus11]

@floratink You're only seeing two feeding sessions - they'll go back & forth with feeding. Also, the parent you're seeing in this video is the father (females are mostly grey).

[giraffepoo]

This is so overly sweet!!! So up close, i love it!!!

[Ouzotime]

PART 2....as for WEARETHEWORLDHAITI1 come around my back yard and i will stomp u like a worm u twisted piece of trash...greeitngs from a greek/canadian

...¸¸.¤°´¯`°{° Ouzotime is anytime °}°´¯`°¤.¸¸.

[Ouzotime]

nice post m8 ty nature @ its best as for the baby bird on the right u be surprised how smart birds are the next time it prob get more food then the left birds dont play favorites like humans i have cockateils and i watch this sort of thing often i cant believe all the idiotic comments here also the 4 dislikes i think the expected to see porn....continued!!

[ifxpbjxsucked]

i need help i found a baby bird and moma wasnt anywhere so i took it in fed it some protein rice and was wondering how do i give it water? HELP!

[MewtwosLittleOne]

@ifxpbjxsucked contact your nearest wildlife center.

[bowe247]

I'm sorry but they don't look old enough to be on the ground

[Sherrie2Sweet]

shes not a fair mom shes feeding on more than the other

[neilrtucker11]

even birds love their babies to death and will do anything for them

[Dunksonskeptix]

God is so good.

[escapethisall]

shouldve made a shelter for em or something, suck cardinals dislike birdhouses that would have been easier, how long did they last?

[nodlon20]

This is so beautiful!! Great capture!

[InnerPeacePoet]

I have video on birds.

[kalehause]

they are very very smart birds

[KaiserGhidorah88]

Great video! I feel bad for the little guy on the right, he didn't get any 8(.

[MushroomBoy64]

I loved it when they popped up and opened their cute beaks. :3.

[Ypipable]

Excellent film!

[inforcerer]

OTHER ONE 2 ! god danG!

[ectwc1122]

why are the baby birds on the ground and the cardinals dont nest there

[ryandasan]

@ectwc1122 They had fallen out of their nest. Not sure how, but we live by the woods and lake and there are a lot of hawks around, so that's a possibility. Also not ruling out the mean family of blue jays that live nearby. They're a bunch of bullies and I wouldn't have put it past them to sabotage the cardinals' nest in a turf war.

[GarethKeenan101]

@ryandasan Drug feud...

[happyninslave]

@ryandasan Did anyone call the police on the Bluejay family?

[5277407]

@ryandasan So whatever happened to these baby birds? I can't see them lasting very long on the ground. just curious.

[thebattlecat]

@5277407 This is fairly common among birds. The young are booted from the nest and cared for on the ground so that a second brood can be hatched in the same season. It's a bird's version of mass production.

[Bk94541]

@ryandasan did u taker of them????..so other animals dont eat them/???

wish i knew where they are,  i would make a little house for them ,is like dog house ,till they get grow & fly away

[SyracusetheShadow]

@ryandasan And so, the battle of bloods versus crypts rages on. >: |

... still, poor lil guys. :c

[marysunshine1990]

@ryandasan it's true blue jays are aggressive. Pretty cardinals though.

[CaneFu]

@ryandasan

The more likely culprits are sparrows or starlings - they attack native bird nests for no apparent reason other than to destroy them. I use an air rifle and shoot the crap out of sparrows whenever I see them at the bird feeder in my yard - they routinely chase the cardinals away if I don't keep them in check.

[UnhappyDreamer]

Why are the baby birds on the ground? :-\

[Dopamine1416]

Awwwwwwwww..........

[ClimateSightful]

Beautiful! I can't believe you captured that! I didn't know that the males did (at least some of) the feeding.

[sana26angel]

wow......wat a cute vid !!!! nice job !!

[Zeyp61]

hey my mom fed me like this when i was a baby o.O caww caawwww

[HappyViet]

Lol! The one on the right was like convulsing.

"FEED ME FUCKING WOMAN!"

[99hamsterlover]

baby on the right: wait!!!! im still hungry!!!

[yenmyrivas]

y como el cardenal tiene el nido en la grama??

[29Chaskelly]

sucks for the one on the right.

[caritopastrana]

i found one baby that felt down and is not ready to fly yet :(

i'm taking care of it until is ready to go but i feel so bad for the poor baby

she or him most miss the parents so bad

[zakkrick]

good thing that a cat is not around

[Tsubahi]

Such a caring dad.:)

[mamasuso]

@RobinYount82 you must be a Cincinnati Reds fan. I watched that fracas that erupted between the teams that ended in both managers being ejected.

[MsLatinstudent1]

so she just left tweety to die poor little guy

[Nach0Libre1]

Probably the best video i've ever seen in my life.

[mamasuso]

they are my favorite bird...mate for life and they are so vulnerable. absolutely beautiful.

[happypeppyperson]

You guys! The red bird is not a female..thats a male cardinal.

[MrRaptorJames]

haha starve the one on the right

[aleigha0707]

I dont know...I am kind of pissed. That poor baby bird on the right got squat. His little mouth was all open wide while his sibling raked it in cause he was the first one to be seen. Stupid mother bird.

[impagain]

awwww >w<

D: why did she not feed the other one?

[5Nadmor5]

poor other second bird he only got one breakfast and nothin for dinner poor bird he might die because of that

[5Nadmor5]

ugh i want to have those birds so bad their so cute

[User100606]

@5Nadmor5 They are migratory birds, the Migratory Bird act makes it illegal to own these and almost every single other type of birds commonly found. This extreme law should be amended to allow owning birds as pets with a permit.

[gennkill]

WTF that thing came down like some kind of freaking ninja! 0:07

[KrisLovesPie]

survival of the fittest! yeah right more like survival of the one i like the best!

[Angel6765]

Oh my goodness I didn't even see them in the grass at the beginning then.. BOING!

[gypsyabbey9]

i have a cardinal who knocks itself in the window i try to feed it

[WhiteNaruto]

What a safe environment :D

[dDo0t]

This is cute!

We have baby birds in our tree outside!

It's adorable !(:

[TheSamsawsome]

we had 2 birds in our yard the lil sis got hit by a car then the mom did now we have to take care of the lil boy :(. but hes ok

[EasilyWowed]

The cardinal here is a MALE! Just so ya know; Momma cardinal is around too; it's a shared commitment, don't you worry.

[EasilyWowed]

The male bird is the one who is busy here. Don't you worry; he and his mate will be here more often than the camera (great idea) can capture.

[FangnclawXD]

This is a good summer, the Cardinals are back in town, last year I didn't see any. Lots more birds this year. : )

[xXClamperXx]

thats fucked up....pobresito, the right one didnt get fed :(

[thesquirrelygamer14]

FEED ME MOMA YA FEED ME YEAH FOOD YUMMAY

[speedstakerboy4life]

i saw 1 30 mins ago itss sooo cuuuuuuuttteeeeeeeee in my yard its mom is teaching it how to fly

[ramdom4friends]

The second Time one. If them didn't get fed:(

[ohsnap31]

The one on the right must have been the red-headed step-child.

[karenpato1]

@ohsnap31..... maybe the father cardinal was "annoyed" with that one on the right......with it's mouth constantly open.....now I know how the term "shut up" got invented.

[karenpato1]

the nickname of the one on the right should be "7-11" .....because it's mouth never closes.

[ReevieSenior]

fuckin stupid bird didnt feed the other one :(

[Brightrose13]

That's some amazing footage, I didn't know the male cardinal feeds the birds too! Not the world's best bird, though.

[Starscream971]

the other one never got fed!!! thats &*(^ed up!!

[MasterofPuppets343]

omg she did are you blind?

[marshmellocandy]

is that in your backyard or something?? how did you get so close without it flying away??

[nhiapthao]

well there is going to be some sibling rivalry there.

[werew110]

i have a nest outside my house and they made it on our gutter and no wind or water or anything gets to it so itll stay forever and the babys r trying to fly right now

[MatrixFactoryGuy]

what happened to the nest?! they too young to be in the grass like that...birds this young still need to be in a nest

[FreakySalamander]

hope the babybirds didn't get eaten by any type of predators!

[UHC4LYFE]

The birdie on the left must be Daddies bastard bird by sum otha hoe! Mama aint giving left birdie nada 2 eat!!! HAHAHA Cool vid

[Gendus1]

@UHC4LYFE

actually if you watch the video they both got fed. and the 2nd time the bird came she probably didn't have enough to feed both of them. for red cardinals all day is spent looking for food for their young. they will even take care of other red cardinal babies that have fallen out of their nests. they are very social birds.

I had a nest in the tree by my front door and the wind blew the nest apart and the eggs fell

[Gendus1]

So i put the nest back together with the eggs inside it, but the mom never came back (probably because she thought the nest was gone). so that night when the mom never came back I took the eggs inside and made a nest out of a shoe box and for heat I used a light and tried to keep the temp about 100F and after 6 days like that with me turning the eggs every few hours and monitoring the temp they finally stared hatching. I never thought they would hatch in a shoe box with a light bulb...

[CaletheGray]

That's a male cardinal! See there are good fathers in the world!

[DaLegend005]

the other didnt get feeded

[grumpypant]

Watching this "feathered nuclear family" brings hope to life; here in California, low income families are given the best welfare programs on this fat lands; and people are still neglecting their dependants!...

Like my girlfriend says: "NOT EVERTHING IS FLAT IN CALIFORNIA!"

[zabet04240]

wow so beautiful

[donnaparslow1]

Looks like Mom and Dad were both helping out. Beautiful!

[gangstanikes]

i guess the males take care of their young

[mrpayne123]

@gangstanikes Both male and female feed and take care of the young.

[gangstanikes]

@mrpayne123 good to know, there's a family of cardinals living on my property but my neighbors want me to cut down their tree, i hate cutting down trees with nest, the birds go crazy, it's kinda sad

[thedude11798]

@gangstanikes: The male was the first one, the female the second. They both care for their young.

[elouise1079]

@thedude11798 pretty sure they're the same bc the males are much brighter

[quincyjx]

Why no nest?

[edwarfas]

those bird are in danger on the floor

[quincyjx]

Good question. They can get killed anytime. =(

[4567jackass]

i want 2 kill them

[carbon310]

i would of kept one for my myself

[stunboi21]

tas fuked up she didnt feed the other 1

[terriergal]

@stunboi21 it's a male feeding them. he will get to the other one next round.

[JabberwocckyChamber]

@stunboi21 I wonder if birds switch feeding schedules with their babies, each summer for 5 years I've had baby birds living in my room and when I'm watching them the mother only feeds two out of her three chicks. We need an ornithologist to help us out XD

[joohsay]

@stunboi21.. she probably knows which one that have a greater chance of surviving.

[UnhappyDreamer]

@stunboi21 Survival of the Fittest... :-\

[stunboi21]

@WEARETHEWORLDHAITI1 haha



[kartha789]

@WEARETHEWORLDHAITI1 Then why the fuck you watched this???????

[Ouzotime]

@WEARETHEWORLDHAITI1 u need therapy real bad u scum.....

[WEARETHEWORLDHAITI1]

@Ouzotime ok i take back what i said baby birds are cute i came to my senses and i like birds i am only 12 and i never killed a bird i understand what i said was cruel so forgive me and i promise nothing like that will happen again.

[rockstar7809]

i think one time, im not sure, but i think i acidentally steped on a baby bird....... it was not there at first and me and my friends were playing outsides, and we saw the bird with half of its body... we burried it though...

[CaiqueLover]

they take turns feeding,,, the baby on the right will get the next one ^_^ and does anyone know if the birds made it?

[terra382]

tripppy as hell awesuummeaze

[1littlg8]

at 0:27

mom bird:[fl;ys away

[1littlg8]

baby bird 1:idt shes comming back

baby bird 2:OH WAHT!?!? I DIDINT GET SOEMTHING TO EAT

[PlumfBall]

[cheerchic12780]

omg they are so cute:-)

[purplenurplesmurf]

wow how came they are out of their nest? they look way to young to wean. mum only feeds one at a time and will come back later to feed the other one. did they fall out of the nest? even though im not familiar with this species, its defo to young to wean.

[freakcody334]

i dont think cardinals make nests.. im not sure doe

[rileyjacktodd]

poor bird at the right

[LJW1993]

Fuckin prejudice

[starjaia]

i know she didnt feed the other one poor little birdie he probably felt abandoned and starved

[briancrainfreek]

We have baby cardinals in our rose bush. They are so cute and tiny!!!!!!!!!

[Manongjojo]

They were lucky if they lived.

[KevinLounsberry]

A cardinal made a nest outside a window of my house! I hope to see it feed too

[guitarawesome97]

awesome!!

[MelanieLouM]

Aww poor little babies...did they survive?? :(

[FPSage]

SHE DIDNT FEED THE OTHER ONE

[KevinLounsberry]

maybe she didn't have enough for it :(

[TexasHighDef]

Great Job on this!! Thanks!*****Duke

[Linfone]

that's a female. it's a little browner.

males are very very red.

[reaper2011thebest]

It's weird on how every species of bird, the male is more colorful than the female.

[lthindu]

haha the bird on the right is guna die

[ririhugs]

But that's strange cause cardinals put they nest in a tree, no? These birds are so gaudy! I've seen one near Toronto. Amazing!

[cooldit1]

i would say it's best to not disrupt nature. But yeah, i hope a cat didn't get to them either. If it did get caught by a cat....oh well. thats nature. I wish nature wasn't so cruel though.

[ETV101]

my favorite birds are crowz eagles cardinals and orioles and this video is amazing

[stunnaP95]

there are so cute

[KaraokeFan1989]

This is beautiful

[mrAZcardinal]

I LUV CARDINALS! :D

[floppytepe]

that cardinal mom is playing favorites :( the first bird got lots of breakfast and the second bird didnt get much. for dinner the first bird got all dinner and second bird got nothing! or maybe the cardinal just ran out of food?

[WhooFlungPoo]

Nepitism at its finest.

[pianistnyc]

Lol I know.

[kripla18]

@floppytepe i believe thats the daddy :) females are brown.

[TheSamsawsome]

@floppytepe ya they run out and go get mor

[crapatitus]

@floppytepe doesnt matter. both baby birds look like theyre on the ground, which means chances are extremely limited for both of them
