Orioles are beautiful. Wish we had them here. The male is so colorful and handsome. Bet he thought that plain little female would jump right off that feeder and let him have it. Actually she is pretty too. These are such good pictures.
The next time the peanut butter jar is 2/3 done I'll try making one of those feeders and see who we get as bird visitors ( except those dratted House Sparrows and Starlings).
Drill a hole in the plastic cap, put in a wire and tie it off inside the cap for a hanger. Then take a sharp knife and cut out spots on the side of the jar. We cut two windows and folded down the plastic to support a twig.
The Orioles have been abundant over here (first time they have come in and stayed - filled the jelly three times today). But I have to agree they are feisty birds and don't share very often just taking quick turns at the feeder.
You go, girl. Every year during migration I put out an oriole feeder with an orange half, nectar, and grape jelly. I have never had a single oriole. Next year I'm switching to peanut butter.

I love that feeder!
Those are some great photos. I knew Orioles liked oranges and grape jelly . But had no idea they liked peanut butter also. Love the feeder.
So fun to watch
They are sure pretty birds, even the female. :-)
Awesome. I have orioles, bit need to attract them closer!
The male orioles are so pretty. We don't have the here (or at least I've never seen them.) She's lovely too...and go girl power! :)
Great photos! Mama needs all that protein.
Those are great photos. I didn't know that they liked peanut butter either.

Gosh! I didn't know they like peanut butter. I will try one here. Your photos are outstanding!
Oh, I love it! :)
Survival of the fifties bird and she has to start nesting soon.
Fittest..... I love spellcheck when it works.
Wonderful pics!
Winner, winner! Good shots!
How did you make the feeder? I have Orchard and Baltimore Orioles.

Birds can be very very competitive.
What great pictures! They must really love that peanut butter!

We've got Orioles too, for the first time ever.

Beautiful birds, and fun to watch. Girl power!
Well, she probably has babies to feed and he's just feeding himself. Glad she won! Beautiful birds.

Wow - beautiful!
I'm going to have to try the peanut butter feeder and see what birds it can attract.
