Oriole Upgrade
The plastic cup didn't last long as far as being anchored down. It broke away the other night and thought humph...time for an upgrade.
Weekend project. Took a cedar shingle and made a box to fit 2 dollar store plastic containers. Use my mitre saw and made precision cuts ( ) then glued all sides together with a base. Got a bit carried away and decided that since the orioles like the hummingbird feeder, I would paint the cedar box the same colors as the feeder and Voila! . . . . . Wait...humph, wait, humph....

A nice little dish that I can easily take in, out, wash and replenish with fresh jelly!
Not 15 minutes after setting up the new haven, we received a vistor scoping out the new digs! Success! The End!

Good job! Those precision cuts are amazing!!!!!
Love the paint job too. I guess the bugs that are attracted to the jelly are just added protein for the birdies huh.

klm,I've never heard of feeding the birds jelly,but I suppose it's good and sweet,looks great though,you are very handy.
If I did that,it would be filled with bees and flies,like 14+said,an extra protein bonus for the birdies.

Hey, great job, klm!!! I finally put out a regular oriole feeder with compartments for the jelly and just hose it out every night. But my orioles are still turning up their beaks, even when I hang it out near the hummingbird feeders they keep raiding
Maybe I need to upgrade to a deluxe model, too!
