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.
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.

This
Oriole Nectar Feeder is specially designed for Orioles and will hold
orange slices in addition to nectar.
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!
