Common Ontario Backyard Songbirds - Bird Calls, Songs and Sounds and Chirps - Bird Video Collection

There is rarely a day that I do not see a wild bird come into my backyard. Wild birds produce fantastic, beautiful loud songs, calls, and sounds. I watch many birds perch in trees on tree branches, fences, and bird feeders. Throughout the spring I hear lots of birds calling and singing to their mates, children, and parents. Birds also make loud calls when they are trying to talk to other birds and when they want to protect their hoard of food. Wild birds come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. I find that the smaller the birds are the cuter they are. ⭐ Timestamps In The Description Below ⭐
This video has some of my best footage of birds either singing or calling and making sounds. A variety of birds are found in my backyard, some stay for a while and sit in my yard and some grab some food and leave as quickly as they can.
A songbird is a perching bird or any bird that can produce a series of usually musical sounds. Sounds produced by a songbird can be heard as a song or a harmonic series of musical notes. Songbirds generate loud and sometimes long sounds that can be heard from far away. Bird calls and songs are frequently used to attract potential mates and defend their territories.
Songbirds create a variety of different loud chirping sound effects.
Additionally, in this video, these birds create loud chirping sounds and calls. When a bird chirps it is often a short, quick, high-pitched, and loud sound. Birds often chirp to notify other birds of something, to get their attention, or when possible danger is around them.
Over several years, I have taken photographs and recorded videos of many beautiful wild Canadian birds in my backyard, at nature parks, and large bodies of water.
The first clip in this video is of a Male Northern Cardinal calling from the top of a tree in the evening. The Cardinal was very far from where I was so I used my 300mm camera lens to zoom into it as close as I could. 00:01
Next, two Common Grackles are walking on top of a roof calling at each other. 00:26
Thirdly, is a Brown-headed Cowbird sitting on a tree branch doing a mating call, it was trying to attract female Cowbirds. 00:48
The next clip is of a Red-winged Blackbird calling from the top of a tree. 01:20
In the fourth clip is another Common Grackle sitting on a fence post making a loud chirping bird call. 01:45
In the fifth clip is a Black-capped Chickadee hiding in a bush in my yard before it hops onto my bird feeder to get some sunflower seeds. Chickadees frequently sit in the bush breaking sunflower seeds, soon it quickly goes back for more repeating the process. 02:03
In the sixth clip, I had a Baltimore Oriole come and feed on my grape jelly feeder, they only come for a few weeks in my area. 02:34
In the seventh clip, there was a Mourning Dove couple that was sitting on my fence. One of the Mourning Doves was trying to do a mating call before the other dove had flown away. Mourning Doves puff out their chests when they make their bird calls. 03:12
Next, I had an American Robin come to my backyard. The Robin sat on the fence and produced a loud call, likely it had its young nearby and was trying to protect it. 03:30
Blue Jays come swooping into my yard searching for food, they can be incredibly noisy, sometimes I get a whole bunch at one time. 03:44
American Goldfinches are one of the smallest birds I have come to my backyard. These American goldfinches were sitting in a tree calling out for other birds with their very high pitched squeaks. 04:48
Finally, a few House Sparrows sat on top of the fence post, one was very hungry and making chirping sounds until its parents had fed them. House Sparrows is the most common type I see in my backyard, they come in groups and eat most of the food I leave out for them. I enjoy sitting in my backyard watching all of the birds as they sit in the trees, on fences, and eat out of my bird feeders. 05:46
This is a compilation of the many backyard birds chirping, singing, and calling.
This video includes loud bird calls and sounds with no music.
Some of these sounds and calls may be able to attract birds to your yard.

Hearing the cardinals in the morning reminds me of being a child in the woods building stick forts with friends. I can smell the forest, and imagine the morning so vividly. ❤

[@MEYanZav]

Waking up to some of these calls is peak comfiness

[@13_cmi]

some birds just look so chubby. When I zoom way in in them I see just how chubby and fluffy they are.

[@kaliboo60]

The Orioles seem to be coming back to Ontario...finally after a very long absence. DDT in the 60's weakened them and the eggs. I'm so happy to see them back. I have yet to see their beautiful nests hanging from trees. Fingers crossed I will.

[@MrButterbawls]

I had a mystery bird(s) in the woods behind my house. Turns out it was an Oriole

[@1gbayfisher]

Had one nest at my friends house, the most beautiful bird, and the nest is absolutely art

[@ChickadeeLover]

I live in Ontario to and I’m glad to see the orioles back.

[@christineweaver3090]

I love the sound of chickadees in the morning

[@doeeyes2]

I live in a skyrise downtown Toronto... and this is really making me miss my chikdhood home in suburbs. I miss these sounds. Reminds me of my childhood and my beautiful cardinal friends waking me up in the warmer months. Best sound on earth.

[@tonchinkan]

Very stylish drop-slide onto the feeder by the Oriole at 2:55

[@chathaway99]

wonderful. As a Ontario person living abroad, these birds and their sounds are heart warming. Very nostalgic. Thank you!

[@BakedPotato0630]

Oh my goodness, the first one I hear from 3 am to around 7:30 am during the spring and summer. That bird signifies the arrival of Spring because you don't hear it during the colder months. Funny fact, I'm sitting here listening to the first bird as I'm on the toilet right now. LoL 😆

[@lisazinn866]

Likewise!

[@smallshinybeetle]

Ive now identified that its been a cardinal that has been waking me up at the crack of dawn! Great video, thank you!

[@bramabull111]

Sounds like the 3 stooges

[@BackyardNatureBN]

Yes cardinals almost sound like Chipmunks chirping. I have 2 cardinals everyday, funny, they are like clockwork! Every morning amd night same time. Right before dark and dsy break. Everyday..

[@gracegreta3208]

me too... LOL

[@kylemundy8871]

Lol! Yeah they do that

[@rugvedkulkarni1593]

Natures car alarm

[@Peoe500]

I still haven’t found the bird I’ve been hearing for 21 years. Northwestern Ontario, swamp/forest biome, it makes a distinctive high-pitched call, with the same notes every time. I hear it in the spring and summer mostly around ponds and plains. It kind of sounds like: HEEEE heeee Weeble Weeble Weeble.

[@reginaldbowls7180]

I used this to identify the birds waking me up in the morning :) they’re cardinals!

[@gracegreta3208]

same!

[@Bushcraftfelix]

I miss these birds man

[@antnation747]

Finally!! I found it. A morning dove. Been wondering what was making that sound since I was like 6…I’m 20.

[@Gosia-qr4gi]

Bardzo ładne śpiewy ptaków ❤

[@jeng5591]

this is a wonderful video. So well shot it seems the birds know you're there and show themselves to you to help you film them. Thanks also for identifying them in order. Lovely, thankyou for sharing.

[@voidhog1028]

Birds love to put on a show 🙏

[@nataliesteiner]

morning doves are my FAV

[@madelaine991]

Gold finches are my favourites :)

[@ScreamXSurvival]

have u heard those owls that always go: AHH OOO OO OOOOOOO

[@kingrat9579]

That specific cardinal call pattern seems to be super uncommon in all the collections I've listened to, but it's the one I remember clearly growing up. Hearing it again right at the start of the video just solved a little mystery for me today : )

[@0judi0bartel74]

Aha! I have a noisy House Sparrow outside. Never gets tired.

[@Base.]

I was trying to identify this bird that wakes me up every morning around 5am then returns again a few hours later, everyday now for a little over a week. Sounds oddly like a person whistling, but far more eloquent until you pay closer attention. Apparently, it's a golden crowned sparrow (?)

[@soapiee]

aaah.. i've stayed up all night.. time to *cardinal squawks* god fucking damnit

[@sifatamin2219]

Thank you for uploading this wonderful Video

[@voidhog1028]

There's a CBC documentary of Wolverines, and there's a scene where a crow pulls at a feeding Wolverines rear hairs 😂 this was the moment I knew birds are incredible. Thank you for this amazing, high quality upload. I'm glad we get to live among these amazing animals.

[@l4me270]

Reminds me of summer

[@naturesviewwithanishkhira]

Great video 📹

[@Angebaby1237]

This was awesome!! Thank you!!!!! Now I know what bird is pooping on the edge of my pool! What the heck. Common grackles. They have a nest in one of my cedars and the whole pod comes when we’re not outside. Any suggestions you have to distract them would be great! I have put up 2 big owls and a large black raven. But they know they’re not real I feel. I think they’re quite clever!!

[@morosorodubuc5110]

There’s a bird that I hear every morning at sunrise that I’ve been trying to figure out what it is. I don’t think it was in this video but it was very informative for some other calls I’d heard. But the one I keep hearing is like “doo dee dee dee dee dee” very loud and clear. If anyone might have any idea what it could be, I would appreciate it!

[@Italvina]

It would be nice if these were labeled. That would help as I teach my child.

[@TheBackyardBirderCS]

Thank you for the comment. :) Here is a link to one of my videos that have the birds labeled on the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF69npybiZuMh8k

You can turn on captions, it says the species

[@jadedfire4351]

Grackles are so silly hahah

[@voidhog1028]

Thanks for the upload! This is great

[@TheBackyardBirderCS]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@voidhog1028]

@@TheBackyardBirderCS I absolutely enjoyed it! I hope you have a good day😊

[@banneduser978]

I'm friends with the American robin apparently I just found out lmao 🤣😂

[@narwalmations]

Guys, if you turn on captions it'll label the birds

[@HKLesterol]

I believe those bluejay calls were accurate but those arnt the types of bluejay calls i hear. I hear the constant pissed off : MNEeeh! MNEeeh! at 4am

[@ubiquitouslight]

Bluejays are aggressive, it's probably scaring off other birds or a squirrel. I used to hear that sound when they ate at a bird feeder

[@solum_]

What bird is at 2:05? Not the chickadee, but the loud background tweeting sound

[@jacalli]

Robin

[@baker967]

What is the bird singing away in the background of the chickadee?

[@HKLesterol]

Robin and there was a mourning dove

[@lisaparisien-robert2721]

nice

[@ducksbuttface]

I have find out that the weird one chirp at a time bird is a cowbird. Made sense as why I can barely see it in the shadow.

[@troublesome07]

Funniest part about this comments section is people trying to spell out bird songs they've heard. haha. What an impossible task!

[@hudsonharvey9783]

What bird is in the background at 6:07 with the house sparrows?

[@RosszCsillag]

y'all should invest in a wind sock

[@canadude6401]

Cardinals have the best songs, I can listen to them all day. American Robins are very ambitious and so fun to watch their activity. Blue Jay's are beautiful not only to look at, but in flight too. Mourning Doves have the most annoying sound, even the sound they make when I see one and chase it is annoying. Useless bird not much better than a pigeon. Stupid too, every year, they make a nest in a rain gutter next door to me! What a stupid location for a nest! They crap on my car all the time too (maybe it's Karma because of my disdain for them). I don't wish harm on any living creature, but if Mourning Doves became extinct, I wouldn't shed a single tear.

[@Guuzaka]

The Baltimore Oriole sure sounds like a rattler! 😃

[@Irandom97]

What’s the bird noise right at 6:07? It’s not birds they currently show

[@rubylace9963]

3:07 I always thought that was an owl call.

[@TSAR2010]

Thats the call of a mourning dove.

[@user-wx4jq8en1h]

I hear the one in the background at 0:56 all the time around where I live but I don't know what kind of bird makes that call

[@TheBackyardBirderCS]

I think in the background around 56 seconds I hear the call of a Red-winged Blackbird and a chirp of a Grackle. I hope this helps.

[@christiinamichelle]

What is the bird in the background with the chickadee??

[@TheBackyardBirderCS]

At the 2 minute mark it sounds like an American Robin calling, in the background of the video. :) Thanks for watching my video.

[@LizzyAlexis]

I watched this video to see if I could match the bird call I keep hearing outside my window. Turns out it's an American Robin!

[@frankymoonlightvintage]

You should label what birds are what

[@TheBackyardBirderCS]

Check out my recent video - Common Canadian Birds - Quick Guide With Names

[@SummerFlowyYT]

they labeled them in the subtitles

[@sansnom508]

Thanks for this video. It would have been so very helpful had you put the names of the birds on the screen rather than having to pause and look in the description for each one.

[@dionst.michael1482]

Turn on captions

[@sansnom508]

@dionst.michael1482 Thanks for the tip. I've rewatched with captions, much better. I'm older, from the typewriter era, and phone and app updates change so many settings I can't keep up with them.

[@dionst.michael1482]

@@sansnom508 No worries. Me too! And I hate it too! Only got a cell phone a year ago cause I was forced into it!

[@kaempari]

who has the bird name for 4:19

[@JessicaDarling2]

If you turn on the captions it will label them. That’s a Blue Jay. 💙

[@tylerdixon-lennett2279]

I have been trying to find a specific bird sound. I keep hearing it in the background of other bird sounds!! 🤣 at 2:30 there is another call in the background. Can anyone tell me qhat bird it belongs to?

[@narwalmations]

I think it's the mourning dove? 3:15

[@toddpennington3056]

Red-Winged Blackbird, Chickadee, Blue Jay, even the Robin - nope, not the distinctive calls. Mourning Dove - yes. Cardinal - not quite sure. The other songs were not particularly distinctive anyway.

[@thefishfin-atic7106]

very inaccurate version of the Red-winged black bird.

[@hendrikaono8984]

Name of birds?

[@death1019]

There are some names in the captions. Not sure if they are correct

[@lightgiver7311]

Seriously, you have missed so many birds

[@1ZEEDEE]

More thumbs down than labels

[@thefishfin-atic7106]

OMG, and the Chick-a-dee....I stopped watching after that....do you even know what these birds really sound like?

[@klatchabobby]

I hate morning doves. I hear them all day long for some reason. Their calls being so drawn out and repetitive makes them a nuisance more than anything.
