Hooded orioles use this feeder. I have more coming to feed then ever before. I use grape jam and oranges. I have tried other citrus, but the birds didn't eat it. I have 2 tips: 1. Cut the oranges in half at an angle. Trim the backside off a little so you can see the center well. When you stab the backside of the orange get it right in the center. Turn the halves so that the thicker sides are down. This helps keep them on the feeder. 2. If you have trouble with the little jar staying in place, then put a rubber band around the top just under the rim. I use those rubber bands that come on asparagus or other vegetables. The bands will rot in the sun after awhile and need replacement.
