Why Feed Orioles?

Orioles are among the most visually stunning birds in North America, with brilliant orange and black plumage that lights up any backyard. Unlike most songbirds that rely on seed, orioles have a sweet tooth and are drawn to grape jelly, sugar water nectar, and fresh orange halves. Their spring migration timing is predictable, giving you a narrow but exciting window to set up feeders and attract them before they settle into nesting territory. Our guides cover the best feeder styles for each food type, homemade nectar recipes, migration timing maps so you know exactly when to put feeders out in your region, and practical tips for keeping ants and bees away from the sweet offerings that orioles love.
