The orioles and hummingbirds are usually back by Mothers day. They will drink from the same feeders as the hummingbirds if the holes are big enough. they like grape jelly and I cut oranges in half and fasten them to aomething.I mix water and sugar 3 parts water to 1 part sugar. The coloring in the mixes are nor good for them. Bring it to a boil and allow it to cool.I wash the feeders out each time I refill it.
