Kettle Moraine Super Oriole Recycled Orange Fruit, Jelly, Mealworm Bird Feeder w/Orange Roof

I've had a few different oriole feeders, and this one is the best. It's sturdy PVC and metal so it doesn't warp like the cheap plastic feeders, and the metal baffle keeps the rain off and shields the birds from predators. I'll have 5-6 orioles at a time bickering over jelly and oranges, with more queued up for their turn at the goodies.

I was pretty happy when this thing finally arrived. I noticed right away that it was much larger than I anticipated and was somewhat weighty. The orioles in my yard were enthusiastic about the orange plastic feeder I had initially put out, but that one got broken by the raccoons fairly quickly. This feeder, however, is much more sturdy than the plastic thing. I find it attractive, practical, and very well made. The little bowls are glass, so you have to be careful when its time to clean (every other day with the jelly and oranges). And the bowls are large and deep. I didn't get enough orioles to warrant filling the bowls all the way up with jelly, so I filled them with about 2 tablespoons each time. I filled the other bowl with meal worms. Also - I found it easier to carve out a small hole on each end of the oranges to mount them on the spikes more easily. The spikes are not at all sharp, which is a good thing lest you puncture a hand trying to place the oranges.Lastly - the orange color on this feeder is just right. It hasn't faded in the hot New Mexico sun. I hung this feeder along with another oriole feeder from a large two-limbed shepherd's hook. I attached some cheap fake bright orange flowers from Hobby Lobby just to make sure the orioles could see it when flying over. It's late August and I'm still seeing orioles every day.

Well made. No complaints

It's a great oriole feeder. We live in Southern California where orioles are not abundant. They are elusive but we had seen one in our yard a few times so it prompted us to seek a way to attract them to visit more often. It has worked! Still not frequent viewings but certainly more often. It's well made material and craftsmanship and looks great. I decided to clear coat the metal hood so that it doesn't fade in the sun as other reviewers complained about. .

Very nice sturdy now if I could just get Orioles😳😳😳😳

Having a roof over the jelly and fruit is a must. No more rain water filling up the jelly bowls so that means using less jelly. The bowls are glass and very easy to clean. Meal worms would also be good for one of the bowls. I tried suet nuggets in one bowl hoping for Blue Birds but I got tons of grackles that devoured them in less than an hour. Don't use those at least at this time of year!This feeder is very well built and weighty. It doesn't seem to swing from side to side even on windy days. I recommend.

Liked the posts for oranges.

I bought this for my mother for Christmas and she put it out in March. We don’t get a lot of Orioles, at our place in Idaho, however last year we got one who kept trying to drink out of our hummingbird feeders. So I thought she could maybe succeed with this feeder in attracting more Orioles. I was about to say this things a bust when about a week ago, late May, an oriole flew by and checked it out. Now several times a day we get at least one male/female oriole pair stopping by to eat. We fill one bowl with hummingbird food, the other bowl with jelly topped with dried mealworms, and oranges on the fruit things. Overwhelmingly they eat the jelly/mealworm combo. By the way, we just use jelly we have here so it’s eaten chokecherry jelly and some other random ones. It doesn’t seem to care about the flavor. We have a ton of other varieties of birds around too so I’ve seen magpies and wood house scrub jays eating from the feeder too. In terms of durability this feeder is top notch. It is extremely sturdy and has held up wonderfully in 40+ mph wind with minimal swinging. The bowls are nice and hefty too. I initially thought this was overpriced but after everything considered I think it’s a fair price and well worth it to have the Orioles!!
