we feed the birds in our back yard every day. there are blue jays, cardinals, humming birds, etc. but there is this bird that has grayish-brown body with a big red mark on top of his head. is that a wild bird or somebody’s pet? is there any wild birds that have a red mark on their head? i live on long island(just to let you know about the location)

I’m concerned about the local birds that feed in my yard all winter long, such as cardinals, sparrows, bluejays, etc. During the day, they chirp and gather in the hedges of my yard, but in sub-zero temperatures they would freeze during the night just remaining in the hedges. I want to know where they sleep???

I love feeding birds and live in arkansas where i have had upto 22 pair of cardinals feeding at one time. I have stopped feeding them as the neighbors cats come to feed then too. On the birds of course. I picked up red bird feathers the other day so have stopped the feeding. how do i get them to keep all their cats from my yard? asking didn’t work.
months. some of the carbohydrates in the cardinal’s diet come from these seeds. describe:
-the building blocks of carbohydrates
- how the sunflowers produce carbohydrates
-how carbohydrates are used by living organisms

A cardinal built a nest in the entryway to my house. It hatched several baby birds but eventually the nest fell over. I put on gloves and placed them in a small box that contained the remainder of their nest plus some grass.
Right now I am unable to tell whether or not the birds are being taken care of by the mother and father. A few days ago I saw both of them fluttering around the entryway but I have since not seen either one directly in there.
The baby birds appear to be generating waste and look healthy to me, but I am by no stretch an expert. I can’t tell whether or not the parents are still taking care of them or if the birds are running off reserves.
Can anybody with knowlege of this sort of thing give me some good advice about what to do with the birds?
A pair of bright orange-ish red cardinals have taken up residence in a rose bush just to the side of our tool shed in our back yard. This morning I was taking out some trash when I heard a bunch of chirping racket. When I took a look, I was surprised to see a nest with 3 to 4 chicks in it, their mouths gaping, begging for a feeding. I figured the mama wouldn’t come back around unless I wasn’t around, so I set up a camera on a tripod next to their nest, and set it to record them on video. I got some great footage of both the daddy and the mama birds feeding the chicks. If I can get the video exported correctly, I’ll put it up on YouTube. To me, it’s very relaxing to watch. Baby birds are definitely one of those few rare things that are both ugly and cute simultaneously.
