Cardinal Standing His Ground – House Sparrows Causing Chaos at the Feeder


Listen Later

Hey everyone, so today I had to record this because the drama at my bird feeder was next-level! There's this gorgeous male Northern Cardinal—he's all bright red and super territorial—and he was NOT having it with the House Sparrows today. Those little brown bullies kept swarming in, trying to hog all the seeds, and he just kept charging at them, flaring his crest, chasing them off like "this is MY spot!" It was like watching a tiny red superhero defend his turf.

I sat there for way too long just watching the back-and-forth.

Grab your coffee and come hang out at the feeder with me!
