Bird Watching: Feeding Jelly?, 1 by reddirtretiree

I put out an oriole feeder last year thinking I didn't have much chance of attracting them. I'd seen some down on the creek, but I live up on a hill with few trees. Didn't really think I could pull them up there. To my surprise, they found the feeder in just a few days. Few other birds ate the grape jelly I placed in it. Orioles are attracted to the color orange, so you might want to use that in your feeder.

I was in SW TX last week and the people that ran the lodge just wrapped wire around a baby food jar and hung it from a line or tree branch. Orioles didn't seem to mind the cheap diner.
