The Cardinal Feeding Preferences. Cardinals love to stay in places that offer them a good supply of food. This is the reason why they are frequent backyard visitors especially to homes that have bird houses and feeders. Cardinals eat different kinds of food including insects, seeds, grains and fruits. The pokeberry, poison ivy fruit, elm buds, box elder seeds, ragweed seeds, sunflower seeds, muskmelon seeds and corn are just some of their favorite food.
So they are likely to eat any type of good bird food, though putting out birdseed with real nuts and fruits one of the best ways to attract these bright birds. Buntings also prefer small seeds over large ones. Feeders for Indigo Buntings. They prefer to eat on hopper feeders and platform feeders. The Bunting is a cousin of the Cardinal, and probably because of this they prefer many of the same things, so you can also use a Cardinal feeder as well as Cardinal food to attract them.
