Rose - at our house the Orioles share the hummie feeder - nothing fancy just sugar water. Last year we tried the premixed nectar and I don't think I got as many visits so this year I'm going back to mixing my own. I don't know if it makes a difference but I skip the food coloring. My hummie feeder hangs outside my kitchen window - over the sink - so I can find myself about 12 inches from these beautiful birds - never knew I could stand so still for so long!
I've heard about the oranges too - and apples. Cut them in half and stick them on a tree. Haven't tried it - but maybe this year...
