Northern CardinalCardinal Bird Feeder
The Cardinal may be the most popular bird to feed and attract, especially in the eastern part of the United States. Male Cardinals are known by their brilliant red feathers and majestic crested heads. Female Cardinals, while also beautiful, sport a more subtle dull reddish color. Cardinals are a non-migratory bird and will stay in an area as long as food and adequate shelter is available throughout the year. Cardinals are very eager to dine at most any available bird feeder but prefer a steady, stationary feeder over a hanging bird feeder. Pole-mounted gazebo feeders tend to be more accommodating to Cardinals and are usually more successful in attracting them. Cardinals also prefer bird feeders that are about 5-6 feet above the ground. They will visit your feeder starting early in the morning and they'll keep returning to it well into the evening. Since Cardinals dine early in the morning and late in the evening, they have plenty of time for entertaining you by singing all day long while the other birds are taking their turns at your bird feeder. Unlike many birds, both the males and females are very vocal and will sing all year long. Sunflower seeds are a favorite food for Cardinals. They will usually sift through the entire mixture of seeds to get to every sunflower seed before starting in on the other seeds. They also enjoy white proso millet and safflower seeds when they can't get sunflower seeds.

Thousands of delighted customers (and well-fed cardinals) confirm that the patented Squirrel Buster PLUS™ bird feeder is truly Squirrel Proof! Openings in the bottom section of the feeder align with seed ports, providing birds access to the seed. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the shroud down, closing the seed ports. Squirrels and large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way. The Squirrel Buster Plus™ breaks new ground with design features available for the first time on any bird feeder. The Squirrel Buster Plus™ can be used with or without the Cardinal Ring System™, an optional posi-grip ring designed especially for Cardinals. Cardinals prefer to grip a thick-textured perch and because it's awkward for them to turn their short necks to feed, they prefer to face their food source directly. The Squirrel Buster Plus™ Cardinal Ring System™ allows Cardinals to eat facing the seed from a secure and comfortable perch. These Cardinal-friendly feeding features combined with a bush-level location make the Squirrel Buster Plus™ very inviting to our scarlet friends.
