That's one brave hummingbird. Those 2 bronze colored birds look like they could eat a horse.
Orioles.! They like sweet things as well. They make oriole feeders, I believe. I've also seen people cut oranges in half for them to peck on, however I don't know if that works.
If you've seen a Bullock's oriole(pictured) you're lucky as that's pretty much a Western bird. He do however have the Baltimore and Orchard oriole in thru the Summer.
We have the Baltimore oriole's. We put out suet blocks that are designed to attract them.
I have one that is hitting my hummingbird feeders hard. He won't even touch the suet blocks or seed feeders. The hummingbirds are still coming around. They all seem to have different schedules.
Just had a ruby throat female come through. The wife and I were on the deck, I think we startled her because she sat on a branch real quick and buzzed off. At least she found us.
Had a male visit a couple of times today and yesterday, probably still migrating.
We've had a full season of them. Watched 3 of them, just before the rain. Wife recognizes them and loves to see them battle over the feeders.
They should be leaving soon.
They should be leaving soon.
