Cardinals, or "redbirds" as they are often called, are large, sturdy birds that need a sturdy surface to feed from. They often feed on the ground, but a solid feeder filled with their favorite goodies is sure to attract them to your yard.
Step1
Buy a tray or platform feeder with space enough on it for larger birds to land.
Step2
Fill the feeder with any of the following foods: black-oil sunflower seeds (a cardinal favorite), safflower seeds, peanut or other nut kernels, or dried fruit such as raisins or apples.
Step3
Use mealworms (available at most pet stores or online), especially in spring when cardinals are feeding young.
Step4
Consider offering seeds from fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, cantaloupe or squash (including pumpkins).
