At one point I decided to offer a special treat; an expensive bag of seed mixed with various, semi-dried berries, nuts, etc. The birds rejected it completely and only came back once the raccoons ate the "special" stuff.

They are scaring away my Finches and Nuthatches, though the Doves are giving them a run for their money. I know they have to eat too but I think they are big enough to fend for themselves!!! :)<br /><br />Oh yes... bird watching...

I've heard that the orioles are here, but I haven't seen any, even with some grape jam out there. We have at least three pairs of rose breasted grosbeaks, and they are a treat. And we have a white throated sparrow which insists on plinking his beak on our windows. I'm wondering what his problem is.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-73190891823568324092011-05-30T13:50:39.839-06:002011-05-30T13:50:39.839-06:00I've tried oranges, jelly, and an oriole feede...I've tried oranges, jelly, and an oriole feeder and I have yet to see even one!
