Did you know that like hummingbirds, orioles have a sweet tooth? What better way to attract them than by offering their favorite sweet treatโjelly! The Perky-Petยฎ Oriole Jelly Feeder has an inverted jelly jar to keep your jelly covered, while the open tray design allows for easy cleaning. The feederโs included hanging chain allows for flexible placement and provides the perfect balance to the tray so it wonโt tip under an orioleโs weight.
Attract Orioles
Orioles love grape jelly, so the Perky-Petยฎ Oriole Jelly Bird Feeder is the perfect way to attract them. It also features a large circular feeding tray with a wraparound porch, giving orioles plenty of room to feast! Orioles are known to be attracted to the color orangeโthe trayโs vibrant hue is sure to catch the eye of passing orioles and draw them to your yard.
Built-in Stirrer
Jelly can be clumpy and sticky, making it difficult to dispense. The Perky-Petยฎ Oriole Jelly Bird Feeder features a built-in stirrer so this is not an issue. This simple device allows the perfect amount of jelly to be distributed into the tray every time. Simply turn the knob on the bottom of the tray to dispense more jelly as needed.
Keeps Jelly Fresh
Jelly exposed to the elements quickly spoils and molds, which is bad for your birds. This feeder uses an inverted jelly jar to keep your offerings fresh and protected from the elements, so it lasts longer. In addition, the included bottle can be swapped with most 32 oz jelly jars (with a 2 ยฝ" opening), so thereโs no need to scoop jelly when refilling.

Jar Details
Designed to fit most jelly jars with a 2ยฝ" opening (plastic jar included)
Easy to fill and to clean. I have purchased three of these feeders. My only complaint is that bees often compete with the orioles in warmer weather and take over the feeder. They also get into the jar and canโt find their way out. Perhaps a design tweak could add a grid opening to where the jelly comes out in order to prevent the bees from getting in. Even so, this is one of two feeders I would recommend.
We have two of your Perky-Petยฎ Oriole Jelly Bird Feeders. The first one that we purchased has a metal chain arrangement but the second one has a cheap plastic chain that has broken. The plastic chain breaks easily.
At first, I loved this feeder. Easy to use and the orioles loved it. They would go through a whole jar of jelly in about a week. However, after about a month the plastic chain broke. Why on earth would the chain be made of plastic?! The previous feeder had a metal chain which lasted more like 4 seasons.

The birds and I love the feeder ! The only draw back is the holes in the tray. The juice runs right out. I put duck tape over them and it seems to work for now. Thanks.
The birds love this feeder but the jelly is too thick to dispense on it's own. So unless you turn the paddle all the time the birds can't get to the jelly. Solution?
We bought this oriole feeder a few days ago so it would hold more jelly than our other feeder when we went on vacation. I put it out yesterday and we had some wind last night. This wind caused the feeder to flip over as it was top heavy from the jelly jar. I would not recommend this feeder if you are going to put it where it could be somewhat windy.
I'm so sorry to hear about this Ellen! Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback!

Great while it lasted

We loved it while it lasted - the Squirrels destroyed this and I used the glass jelly jars vs. the plastic one it came with. My suggestion for this feeder would be to make the base in metal similar to your plastic design. The grape jelly sure attracts these critters and they were relentless, even with it on our deck where there is a lot of human and dog traffic. The base is mostly useless now. The squirrels chewed through the jelly openings and there isn't enough sidewall to hold a jar. We did have this hung in a space we thought would be challenging for the squirrels, but they figured it out. It's disappointing as I was excited to get it after a backorder last Summer. The orioles did love it and would announce their arrival almost every time and chatter in between bites. They even brought their young over to teach them how to use it. Very cute.
