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.

Every year there’s a cardinal that comes and taps on my window, every spring, it usually ends by summer, it’s NOT the same bird, one year it was a female and this year it’s a male, although I hear cardinals don’t migrate and mate for life so it could be the same “couple” I just want to know what to do to get them to STOP! I’ve tried feeding them (because I read an article that said they will do that when they are hungry) didn’t TOUCH the bird seed and kept tapping on the window, anyone know WHY or what I can do to get them to stop, besides being annoying they are dirtying up my windows, but mostly driving me NUTS!!!

It was once thought that we could only feed the birds in winter. Those old beliefs have gone by the wayside, and now we can extend the bird -feeding season to all year round. The birds will not be overly dependent on us, nor will they die if we go away for the weekend without feeding them.
