A plan to utilize the ornamental bird feeders efficiently is very much needed. Therefore, to attract the orioles into your feeders, below are some useful guidelines.
In order to locate some humming birds and orioles, go to your fruit bearing trees or flower gardens. If you both are not present, try to find some birds with yellow feathers and shiny black top coat on the big trees that you have. If you find one or two birds, you are in much luck. Now, you have a spot for your oriole feeder, and this is where you found the birds. The oriole feeders are more easily seen by them if you do this. Slice some oranges and place it inside the decorative bird feeders to call birds into your feeder as a place of rest. One whole unsliced orange will be hard to extract juice from compared to one that is cut in half, so the birds will enjoy feeding more. Other luscious fruits will also be helpful, like berries and grapes.
If you cannot find the above mentioned fruits, proceed to a nearby pet food retailer and purchase some lard or peanut butter mix. Tiny pieces of bread may also be used for your oriole feeder. There is a great chance that the orioles will find these prized items in just a few moments.
But remember that not only birds are fond of sweet foods. One good remedy is to have a water spray prepared to shoo away flying bees and turn ants off from proceeding to your feeders. It is very disadvantageous to have nectars dropping from the feeder or fruits decaying on it. Fill it with clean water so that birds can also drink from it. Change the water twice every week or for frequent to avoid accumulation of bird waste.
As people often said, the more means the merrier. Orioles will by partying in your backyard in no time.
Studies have stated that bird feeders let alone empty even for just 24 hours will also be left by the orioles for they will go to a place where food is available and there is no assurance that they will come back. That does not sound like a delightful fate, does it?
