Theme: Orioles
Author: fly_by_night
The oriole is a bird native to North America that is eagerly awaited by many bird lovers when it comes time for spring. Orioles are often seen in suburban areas and parks due to their preference for open spaces with tall trees. Considered a medium-sized songbird, the male is a brilliant orange with a jet-black hood, while the female is duller in color and does not have a solid black hood. Bird conservationists say this species appears to be stable, but should be watched closely nonetheless.
Orioles feed on nectar. Oriole bird feeders can be filled with the same formula as a hummingbird feeder would—4 parts clean water to one part white sugar. Orioles also like oranges and need larger perches than a hummingbird does—they cannot fit in a hummingbird feeder. To attract the oriole during its breeding season, be sure your oriole feeder is up by May 1, and to keep them around as long as possible, offer grape jelly—it is one of their favorite treats.
