We are long time supporters of humming birds but it is only this season that we have purposely attracted Orioles. After seeing some on our hummer feeders earlier in May we then put out grape jelly and orange slices on a regular basis.
All was good for many weeks but then unexpectedly last week they seemed to vanish for a good 3 to 4 days but now they have reappeared. For those of you having experience with these birds do you know why they can go AWOL for a time?
As well I had read that they love mealworms. And yet any time I put them out as an option it never gets eaten. What am I missing?
