I cut oranges up. I was late this year, I had not seen a one and thought I had missed my chance. I hung out a couple of orange slices on my deck and turned around and they were there. Everyone I have talked to said that the oranges bring them in then the jelly will work. Just my experience. I have so many that I go through 2 entire oranges a day. The Red Bellied Woodpeckers like them too, go figure, I had never seen that before.
