Oriole

Oriole

Oriole

I have seen it only once in my yard. Sooo beautiful. It sat there for a few minutes and went away.

Would they come back? I am in the Stratford-Waterloo region.

Baltimore Orioles are in Southern Ontario during the summer and can be attracted to your garden by filling an Oriole feeder with nectar and hanging it where the Orioles can reach it.

Another, quicker alternative, is to cut an orange in half and place each half on the small branch of a tree (cut side up), where the fragrance and colour of the fruit will attract these beautiful birds.

Try Grape Jelly
by: Carrie

We've have had the Oriole come each spring (mid May) and stay for about 2-3 weeks. This year I tried something different.

I heard they like grape jelly. There are actual bird feeders that are made to store 1/2 cut oranges and a little bowl for grape jelly.

They have been here now for almost 7 weeks and now we are seeing the babies come to the feeders. Thanks to whoever thought of grape jelly.

They are wonderful to have as backyard guests and even more wonderful when they bring their little ones to enjoy the new menu.
