Top 5 Best Oriole Feeders
Birds Choice SNOF Oriole Feeder, Nectar & Jelly Bird Feeder
This jelly and orange feeder on a hanging platform with a roof is a common style you will see several brands have their own versions of. This is made in the USA from recycled plastic. What I like about this one is it seems to be of higher quality than its less expensive counter parts, and will last longer. There is a screw inbetween the cups for an optional orange half, and the plastic roof will help keep out a little bit of weather.
Features:
- Two jelly jars that remove for easy cleaning
- A screw peg for orange halves
- Bright orange poly recycled plastic body designed to not crack or fade
