You should keep a feeder just for the orioles! They love nectar, and will eagerly take sweet fruits too. I read in Birds And Blooms magazine (which is really good, btw!) that a lot of people put out grape jelly in an orange rind if they get orioles in their area.
Thanks for sharing. I wonder how many non-hummers can drink from a feeder...but that may depend on the type of feeder, as mine has smaller openings (Birdscapes brushed-metal with glass cylinder).
Glad to see that you don't use red dye...as it is unnecessary (and potentially harmful, if the human and mice studies are any indication).
Bullocks!! Aren't they just gorgeous! We have had several including, Scotts, & Hooded orioles. We are old time birders & they are such fun for us to watch.
sooooooooooooo pretty & cute <3

I just posted a video similar to this. I wish my bird would stay for more than a day. Only comes once a year.

looks like you got yourself a western Baltimore Oriole (Easterns have a full black head)
