Bluebird, Oriole, Jay & Woodpecker Feeders

Orioles strongly associate the colour orange with food, the same way that Hummingbirds are attracted to the colour red. Placing an orange nectar feeder designed especially for Orioles is one way to attract these beautiful wild birds. Other Oriole feeder foods include fruits such as oranges (halved), blueberries, blackberries and peaches. Spring migration is a great time to try and attract Orioles and other fruit eating birds to your bird feeding station. Woodpeckers love suet, but did you know that they equally enjoy shelled peanuts? (unsalted of course). We find shelled peanuts easier to handle and like to offer them in specially designed feeders that attract clinging birds like woodpeckers, chickadees and nutchatches. Blue Jays make great sentinel birds by warning other birds of danger, such as a prowling cat or hawk. Blue Jays particularly like whole peanuts in the shell.
