12 Tips On How To Attract Cardinals To Your Yard

Everyone loves to see Cardinals at their feeder. They can be both beautiful and fun to watch, but knowing how to attract Cardinals to your yard can be trickier than you think. There are things you can do to make your yard more attractive. The nice thing about Cardinals is that they don’t migrate, so it’s worth it to put in the effort to attract Cardinals to your yard.

6. Encourage Ground-Feeding for Variety & Security: In addition to sturdy feeders, give your Cardinals ample opportunity for ground feeding as well. Not only does it give them a sense of security, especially with bushes or shrubs nearby, but leaving fallen seed on the ground for a few days can also encourage more Northern Cardinals to visit. Place a tray, mesh net, or platform beneath hanging feeders to give Cardinals a better space to feed. As mentioned, feeders with narrow perches are less than ideal for the medium-sized Cardinal, attach a tray to the bottom of tube feeders to give Cardinals a place to land and eat too.
