what do orioles eat
Because their preferred foods are nectar, fruit and jelly, they do not scatter seeds throughout the yard that may grow in unwanted places. Orioles also eat a wide range of insects, providing natural, effective pest control in the garden and yard.
Orioles can be attracted with several types of food: nectar, jelly, orange halves, and mealworms. Oriole Feeders are designed to feed one or a combination of these food items. Nectar for orioles can be made the same as you would for hummingbirds. Mix 1 part sugar to 4 parts water.
