  • 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...

    

  • I'm in the Netherlands now. I sometimes think of winter in Ohio, when these birds would come out, all brilliant against the snow. Beautiful song ... thanks.

  • @NudeManOnPatrol Yes the birds learn from each other, but also from other sounds. I made experiments. I played back over a loudspeaker in my backyard his own sound – the cardinal did not like it’s own sound and flow away – others where attracted. I played for days the sound of a German knighting gale (Nachtigall) and one day I heard a Mocking bird singing parts of the sound from the CD. We could teach our local birds better melodies!

  • good to see a bird with freedom

  • @ArnoldSchwarznigger sounds like a mourning dove to me. i'm pretty sure that is what it is.

  • @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.

  • Anybody know what that background sound is @ 0:30?

  • i had the volume at max lol, try it
