Hummingbird & Oriole Nectar

Why Quality Wild Bird Food is Important

That means if birds don’t find what they’re looking for in your bird feeders, they likely have many other options nearby. Keep your favorite songbirds, orioles and hummingbirds coming back to your bird feeders time and again by offering only top-notch bird food from Perky-Pet®.

To attract the birds you love, know that each feeder type – wild bird feeders, hummingbird feeders and oriole feeders – requires its own style of bird food.

• Feeding Songbirds - There are many different options to choose from when selecting seed for bird feeders, including seasonal options, but also know that some bird feeders can only use certain types of seeds because seeds have varied sizes and shapes. There are also a number of seed mixes that combine a variety of seed types that birds love.
• Feeding Hummingbirds - Hummingbirds primarily rely on energy-rich nectar and protein-packed insects for nourishment. Nectar is a sugar-water solution dispensed through tiny ports in hummingbird feeders and naturally through flowers. Perky-Pet® nectar is available in pre-mixed, ready-to-use solutions and in concentrates that must be mixed with water before filling.
• Feeding Orioles - There are a large number of oriole species in the United States, and they love nectar just as much as hummingbirds do. However, orioles especially seek out citrus fruits. With that in mind, Perky-Pet® oriole nectar includes a natural citrus flavor to appeal to an oriole’s unique tastes. Oriole nectar comes in ready-to-use, liquid concentrate and powder concentrate options.
