There are all kinds of beautiful birds that Mother Nature has honored us with but one of the prettiest is the Oriole. And if you want to see more of this beautiful bird just add an oriole bird feeder to your yard.

Orioles arrive in the United States for the summer months and will occasionally be seen sipping from a humming bird feeder although they prefer their own style of feeder which gives them much better access to the nectar.

Make sure the feeder you buy is a true oriole feeder. You can also remove the bee guards from a hummingbird feeder so that the orioles can get their beaks into the nectar. Modern feeders are designed for the modern day oriole because they have a different tongue and beak then they once had.

The mixture used in Hummingbird and Oriole feeders is colorful and attractive to the birds and that found in oriole feeders is usually orange the color of the artificial nectar.

If you prefer to make your own nectar mix rather than buying one of the commercial mixtures it's a really simple process. Mix up some nectar which is ¼ cup sugar and 1 cup water. To make more just multiply the formula. Fill the feeder with the nectar than hang it from the trees.

You can also put fresh sliced fruit out for the orioles. They love apples and oranges. Some feeders actually have a place to put fresh fruit. Don't bother putting seeds out because orioles don't eat them. Some orioles will take to grape jelly too.

You should clean your feeder completely every few days. You'll need to replace the fresh fruit when it starts to look not so good. It will spoil quite quickly in the warmer weather.

There are some great looking oriole feeders available online and the prices are pretty hard to beat. Because these feeders are designed specifically for orioles it's very easy to search for just the right ones. The HummZinger® is one of the most popular on the market because it has a built in ant moat, nectar scale, a brass rod for hanging, and it's easy to clean and very durable.

The Fliteline feeder is also very popular because of its size. Its larger size makes it easier for the orioles to perch and drink and its larger size means you don't have to refill it so often.

Perky also makes a popular feeder that's available in a variety of different sizes and it's one of the most affordable ones around so perfect if you are on a budget.

Which ever feeder you decide on what's important to realize is that online offers you hundreds of choices from many great sites. So choose from big or small, fancy, elegant, classic, of funky. Choose designer or budget. You decide. But know that whatever you decide it is readily available online.

Ad an oriole bird feeder to your back yard and get ready for some new guests. Their beauty will mesmerize you and their antics entertain you.
