Oriole

I caught the male Oriole loading up to feed his babies.
I couldn't get the picture of him leading them to the orange halves, but i did get a few pic's of him

Very pretty! I'd love to see an oriole in my yard!

Great pics! My hummingbird feeders repeatedly are being emptied by the pair of orioles that have a nest in one of my trees out front!

The female seems to visit mine more often than the male.

I love that oriole feeder you have....where did you find it? The jar of grape jelly I bought for this pair still sits on my counter....not sure how to "serve" it to 'em!.....p

Thanks everyone

The Oriole feeder or a version of it is being sold almost everwhere around here. $ 14.00 or so
I have seen it at, Fleet Farm, Menards, Stein Garden, and most of the hardware stores in our area.

I have another homemade one, that has holes cut in it with spray can tops for the jelly.

I will take a picture and post it tomorrow.
If you know anyone handy they should be able to copy it and make one for you.

This was made for me by a handy person, of which I am not.

Hmmm...thanks for the close-ups! How do you keep those paint can tops from slipping right thru?.....p

these caps have a lip on them.

small screws like you see on light fixtures will work if you can not find any with the lip.

If you can find tapered small glass bowls at a thrift shop. they will work also.

Neat pics and great ideas for serving too! Those little custard cups would work great! Then you could also see when they were empty? I bet the Dollar might even have them!

Great Pics!
