1. Nice, and a grosbeak. I noticed the oranges, any Orioles?

[LakeArenal]

3. Oh yes orioles. Already up to a jar of jelly a day!!!

4. I guess i'm spoiling ours, going through oranges like crazy.

Wish they'd take to the jelly. It's the first year we've gotten the Orioles to hang around.

5. I spread jelly right on the orange.

I'd love to attract more than sparrows and jays......

9. We feed the dollar bills....

Seriously, we spend $$$
Of course, black oil seeds. $18/ 50 lb
Sunflower heart chips. $45 / 50
Peanuts in the shell. $29/ 35
Dried meal worms. $51/ 11
Cracked corn $7/ 50
Apples
Oranges
Grape jelly
Sugar water

I thought my husband would flip out when he retired with me and realized. But he’s in!!

Added: don’t use bird seed with millet.
That attracts sparrows. I use no millet. No sparrows.

8. We gave up putting out grape jelly.....the robins would eat it, they'd take giant gulps

and they would let their young eat it as well. Two of our neighbors put out oranges and jelly, so now we just feed the hummers.
