How can I attract orioles to my yard?
|
Attracting orioles requires some trial and error, as they are not the most predictable species. While orioles prefer table feeders, hummingbird and oriole feeders with perches can also do the trick. Luckily, orioles are not picky eaters, and your kitchen cabinets probably contain some of their favorite foods without you even knowing it. Orioles have a sweet tooth; peanut butter mixes, doughnuts, pie crust, white bread soaked in milk and strawberry jelly are some of their favorites. Halved apples and oranges, as well as grapes and bananas, tempt these birds’ healthier appetites. Although orioles may seem difficult to attract, once these beautiful black and orange birds fly over to your yard, you will instantly know it was well worth the effort!
