Feeding Birds Fruit
Feeding birds fruit is a good alternative for attracting birds that don't visit seed feeders. Fruit can be offered in hanging feeders, on platform feeders or in wire mesh fruit feeders.
Try orange slices, diced fresh fruit such as apples, melons and grapes; or even dried fruit, such as raisins or currants.

our Oriole Feeder
page for feeding orange slices, nectar and grape jelly to orioles and other birds such
as catbirds and mockingbirds.
Raisins, Currants; Dried Cranberries, Cherries, Blueberries, etc: Will attract mockingbirds, bluebirds, catbirds and waxwings.
Grapes:
Will attract grosbeaks, mockingbirds, robins, bluebirds, catbirds, tanagers, waxwings, towhees and acorn woodpeckers
Orange Halves:
Will attract orioles, grosbeaks, mockingbirds, robins, bluebirds, catbirds, tanagers, waxwings and towhees.
As a side note: Plant fruit trees instead of
ornamentals that have no food value to birds. Without even putting a feeder out,
you will attract plenty of fruit-loving birds!
