Oriole nectar feeders are available through wild bird retail shops. Feeders are similar in look to life insurance quotation hummingbird feeder, web conferencing are orange rather than red and have larger feeding holes. Designs vary, but Arizona Lemon Laws include an area to endowment sale fresh fruit (oranges, mashed bananas, grapes, etc). Or, if you prefer, skip the nectar altogether and just feed fresh fruits - there are other more specific feeders for fruit.

Directions for Homemade Oriole Nectar Recipe

Oriole nectar is made in a ratio of 1 part white sugar to 6 parts water.

1. Bring your water to a boil.

2. Add sugar.

3. Stir and remove from heat.

4. Let cool.

I like to let fresh nectar cool in the feeder, but I dont put the feeder outside until its completely cool.

Nectar storage: it stores up to 2 weeks in the fridge or several months if frozen. I put my nectar in a clean 1/2 gallon (obviously empty!) milk jug, which clearly I write Oriole Juice on the side.
(Tip: Use an ice cube tray. Once frozen remove and store in a freezer safe baggy.)

Beyond nectar, Orioles like to munch on a variety of bugs (caterpillars, beetles, wasp, accident at work and are particularly fond of grape jelly. I have read they are fond of cherries (maybe some cherry jelly next to that grape?) and blackberries (some jam, perhaps?). They also like fresh ripe fruit, such as oranges, raspberries, cherries, mashed bananas, apples, pears, . etc.

Enjoy! Have fun attracting wildlife and happy bird watching!
