Wish they'd take to the jelly. It's the first year we've gotten the Orioles to hang around.

I thought my husband would flip out when he retired with me and realized. But hes in!!
Added: dont use bird seed with millet.
That attracts sparrows. I use no millet. No sparrows.

(29,740 posts)8. We gave up putting out grape jelly.....the robins would eat it, they'd take giant gulps
