It sounds like they are saying “birdie, birdie, birdie” or “cheer, cheer, cheer.” The songs can take on MANY different variations, but they typically follow the “birdie” or “cheer” structure. The songs can also sound like “purdy” or “sweet.” I’ve included as many songs as possible so you can hear the variety. Both males and females sing. It can be heard throughout the year but is most common in spring. Northern Cardinals are typically found in brushy or semi-open habitats. They are common visitors to feeding stations. 01:23 Sound #2: "chip” After the song, the sound I hear the most is their call, which sounds like a short, metallic “chip.” This call is made for a variety of reasons, such as a warning about predators in their territory. I hear the “chip” call often while a cardinal is hiding deep within brush. Have you heard a Northern Cardinal before? If so, where do you live and what type of habitat was it located?
