  • It’s the last week of April and that means Orioles and Hummingbirds are about to return to Michigan. Find out how to prepare for their arrival by making nectar and learning how to care for the feeders properly.

    You’ve inspired me to put up an Oriole feeder. Thanks!

    Playing around with a couple feeders this season I can understand why that design is brilliant, although albeit a little low on supply.

    I love Baltimore orioles!

    Nice video! My orioles arrived yesterday & were just hanging out on the woodpeckers' nut feeder; the downys weren't happy about that. I also put bee guards on my saucer hummer feeder. Since the bees _can't_ reach the nectar from the outside, they climb into the ports to get to it and end up drowning. Winter seems to last longer every year where I live; I'm anxious to get my pollinator garden going for the season!

      I’ve got my feeder out now as the orioles should arrive here any day!

    Where do you buy that style of feeder???
    And why do you worry about using cold nectar as it will warm quickly when hung outside.

      The feeder is by Audubon manufactured by Woodlink. You can find it online or at most stores that carry backyard birding supplies. Here’s the link for Amazon: Woodlink NAO1 Audubon Classic Oriole Feeder www.amazon.com/dp/B000HHSAQC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_AY864PSXHQ3GMR3F9Y6W

    Where can I buy hummingbird feeder like this?

    • @Ovenbirder

      Saucer feeders are widely available online or at most stores carrying bird feed and feeders. Oriole feeders can be a little harder to find in stores but Wild Birds Unlimited is a good place to find them.

      Sorry you’ve not had success in attracting a hummingbird or oriole yet. It takes time and often a bit of luck too - especially depending on the habitat in and around your yard. I wish you the best!

      I haven't had luck yet with the feeders, but there is a lovely bright pink flowered bush in my backyard that attracted a couple hummingbirds recently. Too bad I didn't see this video before buying my feeders though. I have the visual obstruction feeder for the hummers and only jelly and orange holder type feeders for the Orioles. I didn't realize they'd like liquid nectar as well (different sugar:water ratio of course). Thanks for sharing what seems to be the best design. I'll try that type next.
      I am 36 years old, and lived in Maryland my whole life, but have yet to see an Oriole! At least I've got 15 other species of birds coming around in the mean time. I hear it is more likely to see O's if there are large trees around, which there are, and with a recent introduction of oranges and jelly I've had Redwinged Blackbirds coming by for the first time. Keeping my feeders full and my fingers crossed!
      Great video, thanks!

    Good tips but keep those hummingbirds away from the jelly. ☠️
