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!
