Overheated and shock. He’s beautiful. Hope he made it.

When they keep their mouths open like that - they are dehydrated and overheated. He needs cold water.

As others mentioned yes he is dehydrated and VERY stressed. I'm guessing this was a window strike. And most birds need time too recover when that happens. Best thing you can do for them is put them in a quiet dark place and let them recover. Most times they WILL recover they just need too get over being stunned from flying into the obstacle. Having been in the avian field now for the better part of 30yrs. Working "hands on" with everything from Warblers too Birds of Prey. I've seen my fair share of these situations. However, if the bird doesn't recover i STRONGLY suggest you take it too your local wildlife rehab center and someone will most likely come out too help the bird. Especially, if it has a broken wing or leg. What you can do too make your yard more safe for our avian friends. Is hang stain glass ornaments with suction cups from your windows. The birds will then know it's not safe too fly through because they will visually see the objects. A clear pane of glass means nothing too them and most will try and go right through. I recently had a Red-Bellied Woodpecker do this and he did recover after about 20mins or so. However, he wouldn't leave me and started climbing all over me like i was a tree. I applaud this gentleman for helping our wildlife in times of need.

"Sir, I need some water and medical attention and 600 million dollars" "You go now little buddy!"

He's beautiful🥰🥰

He was hot, needed water

He's got his mouth open because he's dehydrated and is probably asking for your help finding him some water. He's overheating. Beautiful bird and I always love seeing someone who shows the kindness youre showing here to birds. Too many people kill birds for their own selfish pathetic hobby. Thank you for showing him a moment of kindness from a human being ❤️ (And if he shows up with his beak open please try offering him some cold water and some shade ❤️)

One thing to keep in mind with birds. Their panic responce is to become, what appears to us as, very calm. So even if a bird is calm, dont handle it to long.

This reminds me of when a barn swallow was trapped in the store that I work at overnight. I had to catch her because she kept flipping against a window until she was disoriented. I scooped her up in my hands and took her outside. Poor bird but wonderful experience.

His mannerisms and voice reminds me so much of Bob Ross ❤

Poor thing is stunned and in shock, probably struck a window. He does look like he realizes you won't hurt him though. I bet he left once he calmed down. My brother found a bird that knocked itself out after striking one of our windows when we were little. We remembered that our dad told us animals hide in bushes when they're hurt until they get better so he was bringing it over to a large one in the yard when it suddenly woke up and flew away.

He talks like Matthew McConaughey, it’s an accent from Texas I believe. What a gorgeous bird! Masha’Allah

Those cardinals are beautiful birds!

Everyone: Cuts and adorable Owl House fans: *intense Crying*

Aww, so kind of you to help a poor little bird. Hope he found his way home.

Cardinals are so cool looking! This is awesome. I love how he's having a conversation with the bird 🤣 this makes me smile.

My high school team in Northern New Mexico is the cardinal. But they do not live west of the 100th meridian. I was 55 before I saw my first cardinal in New Orleans. I called my mother to tell her how beautiful was this bird 5 feet from me at the bird feeder. There is a huge fine for owning a cardinal. My mother died at 89 without ever seeing one. I did research and the only zoo west of the 100th meridian (about Kansas City) is a zoo in Salt Lake City. Sad that many of people from these western states will never see a cardinal.

What a sweet man.💋

He is an angel with a message for you.

I really wish I had such trusting cardinal as my friend..wud love n take care of him for life ...man u are so lucky

Love your country accent. I miss home, miss North Carolina, where I was born and raised.. and cardinals were always around the house along with many other kinds of birds. I watch the birds from my apartment window and the Cardinals are always most easy to spot in the trees 😁

How sweet is this man ☺️

I have wild bushtits every spring they come back and knock at my window. Because they trust you

Beautiful.

Wow, the colours on that birb. Very nice.

I believe he is chocking and he is crying for help. Poor baby 😢

The other day in a bird feed seeder livestream on KZfaq, there's this person in the chat that said "Man! I love birds!" with such passion and satisfaction. Dude, I feel the same way too! Cardinals are too cool, as Blue Jays and the Fio-Fio bird, I'm chilean so the Fio-Fio you can found it here in certain zones of the country. Birds are rad!

Im so happy to see them almost every day now. It’s a rare sight in Hawaii. Not for me LOL😊👌🏽

Omg such a beautiful precious baby…so much blessings for u…❤

I love cardinals!! They are very pretty red birds! They have a beautiful tune they sing! I hope this guy flew away happy to be out of the garage.

We usually see them all the time in the late winter here in southern Maine, but this year I haven't seen a single one. I'm reduced to watching them on KZfaq!

Cardinals are a good omen I hear

Here s my 2 cents, this bird is not stunned or dehydrated, but yes he is sick. Seems to be a problem with his jaw or beak. The poo droppings on the window sill shows that the bird has been there for a while , more than 2 weeks maybe months. He is probably fed by the home owner with seeds so the bird doesn t have to go anywhere else until healed.

Oh, wow... I'm from California, we don't have Cardinals here... it's almost like a mythic creature for me... wow! Oh, what a beautiful bird! Thank you for being so nice to him!

He looks exhausted, dehydrated and scared... that's why he stay kinda still.

That's amazing that he'd trust you like that. Of all the backyard birds, they are one of the most shy. In sure you know that already!

I swear this is Mathew McConaughey talking

We have them in Brooklyn, NY! There’s a pair of them hanging around outside my window!

Mr.Cardinal so handsome.🥀🥀

Matthew McConaughey saves strange red bird.

One thing to do is to set them on a high place even if its a table or post, setting birds on the ground isn't the best as they're more vulnerable or will feel vulnerable.

He left a stunned bird on the ground ! Oh look it's Tiddles the tabby from next door.

Love it! I try to get mine around the house to come to me but the won't.😢 Ty for sharing ☺️

💕💕💕 My favorite bird.

🕊👍👌 I love little birds

I found a starling that loves sitting on my lap it takes them awhile to take flight

What a beautiful bird. Who dislikes this?

Beak open is a sign of fear in birds, must be in shock.

Lovely video. Thank you!

"You gotta go, get going", he says to the bird after he opens the garage window, that is full of bird poop on the sill. I don't think that bird wants to go back outside to the world!!!

Man: "Alright, let's just put you on the ground." The cat watching: "YES. PUT HIM ON THE GROUND."

Absolutely precious! I think he knows you!

wish England had bright red birds like this dude :( such a pretty guy

That same cardinal came by my house and borrowed 5 bucks. Never paid me back. Don't fall for his act - he's fine. He's a hustler.

If it's hot, could you put water out for them, please? With a stick in, to help little things to leave if they fall into it?

As you overheat you feel warm n comfy after a while n just die to sleep. If he cools of a bit he should get active.

rw:very cute,1st time i saw that happen.

The ignorance of this person thinking the cardinal is "friendly" when it's overheated and in shock, likely got stuck and repeatedly flew into the window.

This is so sweet ❤️

Poor thing. He looks stunned.

Must've been stuck in there for a while, glad you let him out! Hope he went off to get some water and a cold place to cool himself off.

He's adorable 🥺

They say when you have a close encounter with a Cardinal, it is a dead relative communicating from the Afterlife.

He's like the Ouzel! if they get frightened they just turn into a stone and become motionless and don't even blink, you can go near and stroke them like you would a cat and they would no nothing. Its fascinating.

That's amazing

Wow he let u pick him up. That's soo interesting. Oh his lower jaw is hurt!!!

“He’s a pretty guy” And a few hours later he was dead.

I suppose the beak open thing might be related to the memory of begging his mother for food when he was a chick. Perhaps he’s begging for water.

There definitely seemed to be something wrong with his beak

Beautifull birds

Heartwarming video.

If a wild animal is not acting like a wild animal, 9 times out of 10, something is wrong. Especially if a stressful event has happened. Wild animals are wild.

poor brd might've needed some water to drink. mouth breathing like that is a sign of stress of some kind in this case overheating : [

Him and the Mrs must have had a fight and it was his fault, per usual, so he’s staying at his buddy’s house.

That's a young bird isn't. I have one larger visiting every day with his family while I have coffee on the porch. Usually they chirp loudly. But that fellow couldn't even speak he was so dry. Bird lover from GA.

Thank you

His beak looked a little bend or broken. Idk if that’s how he’s supposed to be but just didn’t seem right

"dude, i know you from somewhere. but can't remember where from" friendly cardinal

Obviously, that red cardinal was overheating. Should have given him a drink of water.

This is very interesting because from what I understand, Northern cardinals are not usually this friendly so I'm quite amazed to see this.

The open beak means that I’d overheated and needs a scourge of water

HE NEEDS A DRINK BRO!!!!

Pretty bird! 😍

That bird was in shock from heat and needed water. Also he was indoors when he should have been out. Cardinals are the last to feed in the evening, and first to awaken and feed at the start of dawn. And that bird poop all over those window sills is a health hazard!

People judging by the bird poop on that window seal it probably has a nest in there

Either this bird is very dehydrated, or it had brain damage.

He’s hungry❤❤❤❤❤❤

Very stressed when they keep their mouth open

Such a pretty bird

He needs water. How can you not see that the way his beak is open with those weird "coughing" sounds.

Oh hey red from angy birb

Wow!

Poor sweety. I hope he was OK in the end

Give that bird some water :-(

That card is in shock

He was probably beating his brains out against that window and is now exhausted. We had a large block building on our farm where we stored our tractors 🚜 and birds came in only to lose their way out. They would beat themselves against the glass thinking it was the way to freedom. We could easily capture them as they tried to rest on or by the window pane. They had the same look that this cardinal has…

I have a cabin in north ga we have this cardinal who has been around since April keeps flying in to our window they say it’s because it is there area so we thought but it’s December and it still does it we put strips off tape but it stills does it it goes under the strips and keeps peck at the window and going to all the windows don’t know why it does this does any one no why I have a feeder on a tree so it eats all the time and breeding time has passed?

True or not I do not know, but it's been said cardinals are family members reincarnated.

He needs a vet please notice how he holds his mouth open he hurt himself when he hit the windows please get him to a vet thank you and God bless you

He needed water.
