I don't think I've ever seen an Oriole, but it's very pretty. We find quite a few birds sharing the hummingbird food--even a woodpecker one day. Guess they have a sweet tooth!

Orioles will go for the necture at the hummingbird feeders
when there is no jelly around. They love the fact that there is sugar there for their taking.

Pretty! I haven't seen one around here (Western PA) in years. Enjoy. To get him to leave the hummingbird feeders alone, cut an orange in half, and nail it to a tree. They love it!

I just put my feeders out. I'm hoping they show up this year.

We had some Orioles last year and the hummers didn't like them at their feeder. Haven't seen any yet this year.
I put out oranges cut in half for them but I think the woodpeckers ate more than the Orioles. LOL
