How to Attract Orioles Orioles can become a bright and cherry addition to any backyard with their blazing orange, yellow and black plumage and joyous disposition. Seasoned birders eagerly await the return of these birds each spring, as they come back from their winter migration to Central and South America. Some of the easiest ways to attract orioles to your backyard is put out fresh slices of oranges or grape jelly, as the natural diet of orioles consists of fruit, insects and nectar. Another popular option with orioles is nectar feeders. Along the same line as hummingbird feeders, Oriole feeders have slightly larger feeding ports so the bigger orioles can get to the nectar. Also, these feeders generally come in a bright orange hue, as it has been proven that the color orange attracts these songbirds the best. Mealworms also make an excellent food source for orioles. Simply adding a small dish of them to where you place your fruit and jelly can make the difference between attracting a few orioles and the whole flock. As orioles are generally shyer birds, start off placing your oriole feeders a distance from areas with high human activity and fairly close to a tree or natural hiding place. Try one or all of these feeding options and you will have these brilliant birds darting across your back yard in no time. | ||||||||||||||||||||
