We put this up after the Oriole’s were trying to drink out of the Hummingbird feeder. It has adjustable things for different sizes of Oriole’s. It works and fit perfectly. I used to be stuffy about glass vs. plastic but I am actually glad this one was plastic. The Oriole’s knocked this one down (I fixed it so they couldn’t do that again) and it didn’t break or even leak out. I recommend!

Update:The Orioles will NOT feed from this feeder. I have lots of Orioles,the other feeders ran out for two days and they left because they would not eat from this feeder. I filled the ones back up that look like big oranges and they are feeding again. I believe they will not eat from this one because it does not have feeding station pegs for them to stand on while feeding and the others do. P.S. Humming birds will eat from the same orange shaped feeders with the Oriole necter food,in case you do not want to put both out or do not have room for both kinds of feeders.

I read the reviews for this feeder and was hopeful I would have good results. This feeder is a success. I put it up yesterday, and today, as I sit at my window, I see the Hooded Orioles (juveniles) feeding from it. Prior to getting the Oriole feeder, while they came to my hummingbird feeder, they would feed for just a few seconds. They stay much longer at the new feeder and come back to it frequently. I’ve seen a male/female pair come to it several times in a matter of 15 minutes. If you have hooded orioles, I recommend this feeder.

The Baltimore and Orchard Orioles love this feeder. Its good quality, easy to refill and clean, and you can hang it or set it on something. Bonus: the rails the birds perch on to feed collapse into feeder which is nice for storage. I highly recommend this feeder.

I bought this feeder from Target after seeing an oriole near our regular bird feeder last spring. It shipped quickly and was easy to set up once I bought some oriole food mix. I hung it as suggested in a southwest corner but never saw an oriole come near it! I gave it a few weeks but no luck so I moved it under a tree. Maybe I put it out too late in the season and missed the migrating males this year so I’ll give it another try next year. I still have it up since it looks nice but it didn’t seem to attract any orioles this year. I’d give it 2 stars but I’ll give it through the summer and put it up early next spring and see if anything changes.
