I never have used frozen fruits. I suspect the Orioles and / or Waxwings responsible for taking our blueberries, strawberries and raspberries before WE can get to them. They like our pears too. :-) For offering jelly we use a shallow dish, like the kind you would put under a flower pot so it doesn't spooge water everywhere. Its shallow and heavy enough that they don't flip the thing when they perch on the edge. So how do you give the Orioles nectar? I placed some in a shallow dish and the starlings had a bath in it. LOL! What a sticky mess they made! Then they needed to rinse off in the regular water birdbaths. Would they drink orange juice? C3D

I do have females that look like that and I believe Kenn and Temple do as well. I have one female that has been around for years that has an all black head. All her markings are exactly like a male except very light dull orange and a duller black as well. I thought for years she was just a poorly colored male until I saw her nest building. I always thought it was funny that I didn't see any females around but always found nests. LOL Maybe someone else has some thoughts??? Cathy

We have spotted two males and one female and what I think are yearling males. The female is fleeting; just saw her one day. The males are eating grape jelly daily. I wish the would all stay all summer. They are spectacular birds.

Beautiful feeder, I can see why the birds would love it.
