Hooded Oriole at Bird Feeder

Use this genuine oriole nectar recipe instead of a hummingbird nectar recipe...

Although it's safe to provide hummingbird nectar for oriole birds, using the following Oriole Nectar Recipe will save you money! A hummingbird nectar recipe is 1 part white table sugar to 4 parts water, while an oriole bird nectar recipe is 1 part white table sugar to 6 parts water.
