I put out grape jelly for the migrating orioles, but I may have given the robins a new junk food diet. They are addicted to the stuff. Why hunt for worms when you can get a sugar buzz without doing any work?
And catbirds are known to eat grape jelly in the spring when they first arrive, but mine visits the feeder to eat sunflower chips instead.
While I was on the road trying to spot some of the migrating birds, I kept coming home to ravaged orange slices. I was hoping perhaps the orioles finally arrived, but one morning I spied the culprits in the act—Mr. and Mrs. House Finch!
