Orioles are an interesting bird. The arrive in spring just before the crab apple tree in our yard blooms. That's because orioles eat the flowers (or more specifically, part of the flowers). They are very fond of fruit. We will put out cut apples and oranges. If you can afford it, you could also try grapes and raisins too. The best part is that MANY birds will partake, as they're dietary needs are as varied as ours.
If you want to watch an "aerial raid", toss whole peanuts out in the yard and wait for the bluejays to find them.
They WILL find them, and won't stop until they are ALL GONE!
