Calling orioles "little pigs," Melody Weller, Wild Bird House, said that there will be a lot of them at first in the spring and then they will spread out over a larger feeding area later. Orioles love nectar, jelly, worms and oranges. Melody said they go through 14 - 18 jars of grape jelly a year in their backyard. She said orioles are a fun bird and have a beautiful song, so are worth trying to get them to your back yard.

You can make their nectar, just like the hummingbird nectar, only oriole nectar is usually three parts water to one part sugar, instead of 4/1 for hummingbirds. Bring to a boil and let cool before putting the nectar in the feeders.
