Nature's Way OFM1 Wire Oriole Feeder

All-In-One Oriole Buffet

Simultaneously feed liquid nectar, jelly, and fruit to serve up an all-in-one buffet for your birds! This feeder comes with a clear protective baffle that can be assembled to the hanger to better shield the feeder from weather while maintaining optimal bird viewing. Three removable dishes allow for easier cleaning and replenishment of jelly or nectar at separate times, leading to a cleaner feeder and less wasted feed! A built-in ant moat deters these unwanted pests from reaching feed. Simply fill the cavity surrounding the hanger with water. Be sure to remove dead ants and any other debris from the moat often. This feeder comes with removable bee guards. Simply slip the guard over the base of the feeding port to prevent bees from reaching the nectar. Remove the guard for a more thorough scrub when cleaning the feeder to help prevent mold.

Cleaning Your Feeder:

In order to be a responsible host, you must keep your feeder clean and full of fresh feed options. It is important to select a feeder that is easy to fill and can be taken apart so that all parts are easily cleaned.

At minimum, every four or five days take down your feeder and discard any unconsumed sugar water and jelly. Take apart your feeder and flush with hot tap water. Visually inspect the feeder for black spots and grime. If grime or black spots are present, soak and clean the feeder thoroughly with a solution of ¼ cup bleach to one gallon of water; rinse well before refilling. Jelly dishes should be thoroughly rinsed before adding more jelly whether or not all feeder contents are being refilled or replaced.
