Backyard birding folks! How do I attract orioles?
I live near Seattle, WA, and I’m told there are orioles here in warmer weather. What does one do to attract these birds? I’ve only recently moved into a place that would allow me to see them when they’re around (long story there), so what would you recommend to attract them? Thanks!

This may sound weird, but they LOVE grape jelly. Put it out in saucer or similar shaped container. My mother nails a big jar lid on the deck rail and goes through a jar of grape jelly a week in the spring.
Grape jelly does work. Also, oranges and nectar in a oriole/hummingbird type feeder will also work. The only species of oriole you’ll see there, is Bullock’s Oriole. They are beautiful birds.
We put out orange slicing which they love when they are here in the spring/summer in Michigan. We have to buy at least a bag a week. The are wonderful to watch.
