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.
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 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).
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.

ReplyDeleteI love that feeder!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great photos. I knew Orioles liked oranges and grape jelly . But had no idea they liked peanut butter also. Love the feeder.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to watch
ReplyDeleteThey are sure pretty birds, even the female. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I have orioles, bit need to attract them closer!
ReplyDeleteThe 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! :)

ReplyDeleteHow did you make the feeder? I have Orchard and Baltimore Orioles.

ReplyDeleteBirds can be very very competitive.
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures! They must really love that peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteWe've got Orioles too, for the first time ever.

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

ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try the peanut butter feeder and see what birds it can attract.
