Attracting Orioles to Your Yard
Orioles are attracted in the summer with sugar-water nectar at
hummingbird feeders and oriole feeders, but they do need perches in order to
use these feeders. Many
other foods will also lure the oriole, such as:
suet, suet mixtures, peanut butter mixtures, doughnuts, pie crust, white
bread soaked in milk, halved apples and oranges, cooked raisins, grapes,
pieces of banana and grape or strawberry jelly. (In fall orioles migrate to
their winter habitats in the American tropics and return north again in our
spring.)
Orioles will use many kinds of feeders but they like a table feeder the best
because it can offer them a variety of foods at one time.
One never knows which foods will appeal to the oriole. Some orioles like one
thing, some another; and they can suddenly change to a new food and reject
foods that they had been coming to. Our suggestion is to keep experimenting
with the different foods listed above to attract this beautiful bird.
