Today I started getting my feeders out for the Orioles,and thought it would make a post for those that like to feed the birds!
I feed many birds,but birdbaths are very important to attract birds also!
Supplying nesting materials....I take twine and unravel it to where it is single strands about 2' long. Then just hang it on tree branches,and the Orioles will take to weave their nest!

Bird Feeding Chart
Attracting Orioles to your backyard:

Orioles will visit nectar feeders. They will enjoy your hummingbird feeders or a specially designed oriole feeder filled with nectar.
Offer orange halves firmly placed on tree branches, in a special oriole feeder or fruit holder.
Orioles enjoy grape and apple jelly or orange marmalade.
Offer chopped pears, apples and orange halves in a platform feeder or fruit feeder.
They may come to your suet feeder. Try offering orange, insect or berry flavored suet.
Plant fruit and berry producing plants such as mulberries, serviceberries, brambles, cherries or figs.
Offer a source of water for drinking and bathing.
