Northern Cardinal Call - 5 different Calls 

back in 2004 i lived in Ontario and i used to run laps around the yard and this big Cardinal would run laps from one side of the yard to the other. i began to listen to his calls so one day i started to call back. i copied him/her and learned that they can count to 10. i repeated the 2 high pitch sounds followed by another low pitch sound all the way up to 10 and the bird went back down to 1 after the 10th sequence. Then repeated it, the several times I tried. amazing creatures these birds

Played this when I heard a Cardinal in my backyard and one came to inspect.

His songs are as beautiful as his plumage. What a blessing it is not only to hear his song , but, to see him joyfully singing away. Thanks for sharing this incredible footage! ❤️❤️❤️

Cheer, cheer, cheer.. wheat, wheat, wheat .. my favorite bird!

It's funny the variations of the same birds calls in different areas!

Awesome, I never heard the "rrrrrr" till u pointed it out! The the "dunk" vocalization at the end of some of their phrases! Great video! Thank you! Such a diverse collection! Liked and subbed!

Ever since I was a little girl in the 90s, the “switch back” has always been my favorite bird call. It was only recently that I finally learned it came from cardinals. ❤

The ones I hear near Minneapolis, MN have two calls. One sounds like #4 only with a note ahead, so it sounds like "What cheer, what cheer". But I've also heard ones and luckily seen them that sound like "see cue, see cue (or C Q, C Q).

This was great! You should hear my cardinal (not literally mine, he’s just been living in my backyard more or less for like 3 years!) his call is hilarriousss, and soo cute !

Thank you for this great video! I didn't know cardinals had such a wonderful variety of songs.

Had one crowing sounded like more 10 feet right above a tree against my backyard. Js didnt sound like no matting call lol. Such a beautiful bird....let's go cards pulling for you 2020

I hear one similar to #3, but it goes on longer, then stops abruptly.Hard to explain. It sounds like it starts in mid call, then goes on a few seconds, then stops in, what seems like, the middle of it's call.

#4 is what I hear..the 'pew-pew-pew" sound

I make this call and a bird answers. Now I know it's a cardinal!

At 1:06 you can hear a Blue Jay call in the distance.

All northen bird sounds

In southern New Jersey/southeastern Pennsylvania they don’t sing like this at all. It’s completely different.

I have watched the male feed the female

That's likely the bird that's always calling me weirdo. The abuse I take...
