Twocoda Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) yes Joey it works...also as rodbender says ....grape jelly put into a plumbing test cap and zippy tied to a fence or tree etc.....test caps are orange ,made of pvc and very cheap as opposed to buying an expensive Baltimore oriole feeder....i just cut an orange in half...lance a hole through the center of the half and pierce a small branch through the orange so it stays on the tree Edited May 27, 2014 by Twocoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
