The OSUT # 232 Yes Gracie its finally Spring

[bcannon]

What type of feeder do you have for Orioles and what do they prefer to eat??

I made mine out of a orange frisbee, all-thread, and 3/4" chicken wire. I cut out a hole in the mesh and use a used fruit cup or ice cream cup for the food. I found they like grape jelly the best but they like orange halves too but the cost of of oranges are a little pricey for a steady diet of them. I put one out a week though and it's picked clean in a day. Have to refill the jelly too daily as they really like it.
Here's a pic of the cheaper one I made for the neighbor. Ran out off all-thread and hardware but it works just fine.



And yes I know, I need to mow.. still too wet though.

Just old fashion loaf here, Expat

the daughter does the grape jelly for the oreos also. i used to put out the oranges but it is upsetting when you lose a couple of oranges before they finally find them.

I used to just set the orange halves out but like you said they don't find them before the wind or other critters do.
If you look back at my pic, I stab them on the point of the hanger and problem solved. No orange half on it now as I'm out of oranges right now.

Quick errand to drop off packages at USPS and grabbed Arbys quick on the go

I bought an oriole feeder from Wild Birds Unlimited and only did the oranges for the first year. Nothing but store brand grape jelly now.

Looking forward to seeing it

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Dangit. Had a flurry of activity at work so I guess I'll just wait until I'm done to mow.
