The females lack the black feathers and are a duller orange-olive color. They are found near open areas with large deciduous trees, near streams, country roads, parks, and orchards. Orioles like orchards and will occasionally lunch on young apples, cherries, peaches and plums. They also enjoy serviceberry, mulberries, figs, nuts and Mountain Ash. Farmers shouldn't mind losing a few fruit, though.
Orioles are beneficial because they also eat many harmful insects.
