Orieles

Orieles have a sweet tooth and prefer foods that offer not only the proper nutrition, but also have a touch of sugar. Orioles migrate at night so they are tired, cold, and hungry when they arrive in your garden. You can attract Orioles up close by offering Oriole nectar, jelly, and fruit on special feeders by the house and patio available at Nobleton Feedmill. Popular oriole foods include

  • Insects or mealworms

  • Nectar

  • Oranges, apples, peaches, berries, and bananas

  • Bread

  • Suet 

  • Jelly

  • Fresh, frozen, or dried peas
