What kind of sound does a cardinal make?

Question

my coworked said that i used to make this sound like a cardinal before. and it's kinda become like a joke with us, but i don't get it! haha.

i have no idea what kind of sound they make.

i don't have sound on my work computer - so i can't really listen to a sound clip in a link, but if it's the only way that it can be explained, i can wait til i get home on my regular computer.

can anyone try to actually explain in it to me??

thanks so much.

i know this is an odd question............

Answer 1

Here's a sound clip:

The first answer is correct.  They make a rapid "Purdy purdy purdy purdy purdy.   Say it really fast, and high pitched.

Answer 2

They sing,

"purdy, purdy, purdy - chit chit"  

The chit sound has a metallic clink to it.  

The purdy sound is "pur DEE, purr DEE"

with the emphasis on the dee and the dee goes up significantly higher in pitch.
