There are many aspects to consider when selecting a feeder, such as price, material, etc. Here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Make sure it is one that will be easy to clean and fill, especially since you will need to clean the feeder at least every few days.
2. If you are worried about bees and wasps or ants invading the feeder, purchase an oriole feeder with bee guards and/or an ant moat.
3. If aesthetics is high on your list, we offer a wide variety of oriole feeders to suit your preferences.

It’s best to place oriole feeders near a tree, bush, or other protective cover. Orioles are shy, so avoid placing their feeders close to other feeders or in areas with lots of people traffic. Also be sure to place your oriole feeder out of direct sunlight. Strong sun exposure can cause the nectar or jelly to spoil more quickly.

The Orioles will find your nectar feeder, although there are some steps you can take to help them find it sooner. Placing orange pieces or slices on the feeder may help them locate it. Some enthusiasts like to use oriole nectar, although others prefer to make their own nectar for their oriole feeders. Placing a bird waterer in your yard near the feeder may help to attract them, after which they may also then find the nectar in the feeder.

Leftover nectar should be transferred to an airtight container and placed in the refrigerator after opening. However, the cans are intended as single use.

Perky-Pet^® Nectar Cans are intended to be single use. However, if you do have leftover nectar, they can be sealed and stored in the fridge for up to one month.

Perky-Pet^® Orange Oriole Nectar uses an all-natural color formula, which may fade over an extended period. If you’ve noticed the color fading since you’ve filled your feeder, this is an indication that too much time has passed, and the nectar should be refreshed.

No. Perky-Pet^® Orange Oriole Nectar Cans contain no artificial dyes. The all-natural orange coloring is derived from fruits and vegetables.

It is crucial to keep oriole feeders clean. Be sure to clean your feeder regularly, at least twice a week, using a solution of warm water and soap. Clean more often in hot weather as nectar and jelly can spoil more quickly.

It is recommended that you clean your oriole feeder at least twice a week.

1. Discard any remaining nectar.
2. Soak the feeder in warm, soapy water.
3. Scrub the feeder and allow it to air dry completely.
4. Thoroughly wash hands after handling and cleaning feeders.
