I have to run to town in the morning to buy more oranges. When they get done with a half they just flip it off the railing with their beak and move on to the next one. If they run out they start flying into the window to let me know about it.

I use the cheapest grape jelly Walmart has. It's their Great Value brand, I think it's 98 cents a jar. The Orioles flock to it. The last two years I had an occasional Oriole, this year I have had more Orioles, at my feeder, than I have ever seen. For some reason the Orioles are thick this year. They hit both the jelly feeder and the hummingbird feeder. I think I've gone through seven jars of jelly so far, and I'm almost out and need to gt more.

I put out two jelly feeders and several oranges cut in half. They hit the jelly hard, but ignore the oranges altogether.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

One of our jelly feeders is right next to our picture window which makes for some really cool photos.

Just seen the first Oriole today.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I give mine bowls of sugar water. Home canned fruit and jellys as well as fresh fruit. Yup they're pigs alright.

I just filled my jelly feeder with it's 9th jar of jelly. I thought it was 98 cents a jar but it's 94 cents for 18 ounces. The orioles love the stuff.
