She’s not dining and dashing as much anymore these birds are about 5’ away from where I sit when I put the seeds on the table

A Mated Red Crested Cardinal Pair
These 2 are really cool birds the female is far less skittish and the male is finally able to eat without grabbing a peanut and running off well as long as I place the seed bowls on the Rock Wall the male will now relax a bit but since it’s further from me I can’t see what it is that they prefer to eat it’s interesting that each bird has favorite foods within a species but all these birds on my videos are regulars and when an outsider tries to partake they get chased away many of the species are territorial the Common House Finch’s and the Doves “Dumb Birds” do not seem to be territorial at all but almost all the other species are very protective of their area Mynahs come in a larger group but that group is always the same birds and I swear they have meetings on how to keep the group from growing. The Mynah’s aren’t fond of the seeds but love the Grapes that I wire tie to the Plumeria Tree and the Hibiscus bush grapes are not grown on Oahu but once they figured out that they liked this fruit they wait for me to place them in the tree and chat to me while I am putting them up so very cute

Red Crested Cardinal Female
I am guessing she’s the female as she’s the bigger of the pair and I’ve read the females are typically larger to sit on the eggs this gal is still getting used to us even though as a teenager (when their crest is Brown) she was not scared of anything it’s strange how their personality changes as they become adults

A Newcomer Northern Cardinal Female
This appears to be a young and pretty Female she’s a bit skittish still and the Canaries already know there bowls of seeds are theirs since they’ve been coming for a couple of years but Cardinals catch on fast as they are incredibly smart for the birds visiting our back yard the only smarter are the Mynah birds the Mynah’s are just amazing but so are the Cardinals

Our Gangsta Common Minah’s
These birds are extremely intelligent but are also smart enough to keep a certain amount of distance to humans but they do love Grapes

Daddy-O Northern Cardinal part 2
Happy Happy Happy Daddy-O he is very appreciative of the easy meal it’s so cool to have Back Yard birds that interact with you and essentially talk to you in their own way such an interesting male before he ever ate at the seed bowls he would watch the females that come here from afar he did this for a couple of months before he actually ate at the seed bowls and the first time he was so nervous now he tells me he’s hungry and would I mind this takes time and patience but is so rewarding We Love our Feathered Neighbors

This is Daddy-O’s Girl and she’s relatively new on the seed bowls but she’s getting acclimated I nicknamed her ol dog face and I think the name fits my wife wants me to use a nicer name so Daddy’s Girl it is

Chirpy Girl the Beautiful Female
I call her Chirpy because she chirps a lot until I put the seed bowls onto the table but this gal is a stunning beauty her crest has awesome red tinge to it and her wings have a red as well it’s not something this camera can seem to catch and it’s more evident when she’s in flight but compared to other females she’s all ready to go out on the town on a Friday night she blows away all the other females IMHO and she’s quite a character her Grandmother was the bird that started us feeding seeds and grapes our main target species is the Northern Cardinal but several other species are on our list of favs we don’t like the Doves and Pigeons they eat way way way too much and are just pigs In so many ways

These Birds are so industrious or so it seems always getting the job done and they have such a pure beautiful voice when they decide to sing

#BACK YARD BIRDS Hawai’i more feathered Buddies
All of my videos are in our Back Yard as I understand from those with far far more knowledge that I almost all of these birds live within less than a 1/2 mile of us I actually feel it’s a smaller area as I know where several species sleep at night most are within a few hundred yards of here and this feeding we do evolved into how we feed and communicate with those species we like many of these feathered friends call us with special chirps to let us know they want the seeds it’s a blast and we’re happy to share how we got here it’s a lot of good entertainment

A Funky Looking Teenaged Red Crested Cardinal
As Babies the Red Crested Cardinals have a Brown Crest this youngster is turning red and his beak is still a bit black as an adult the beak will be a cream color he’s truly funky looking but at this age they have little fear and will chase other birds from the seed bowls im hoping as he matures he will still visit but my guess is the parents won’t allow him into their territory as happens with almost every baby regardless of species except the Dumb Birds (Doves)

It takes a while to establish a form of communication and trust with the feathered friends but once established it’s a lot of fun “Babies” our Canary Family talk to us often requesting to be fed and they seem to enjoy us as much as we enjoy them

The Mynah birds are so creative and so skilled at solving problems it’s worth paying for grapes as the price of admission

The Canary or Saffron Finch Family all together
Soon these offspring will get chased out of the area by the parents but for now we get to enjoy watching them all as a Family the offspring sure make a racket begging to be fed even though they can obviously feed themselves now
