Is grape jelly bad for orioles?
Feeding Orioles Jelly
Jelly is one of the most effective oriole foods you can offer. Smooth grape jelly is best, but the birds will also take orange marmalade or red cherry, strawberry, apple, or raspberry jams or jellies.
When should I stop feeding orioles grape jelly?
In late spring and summer, I caution against letting individual birds visit jelly feeders more than a few times a day. And if adults bring their young to feed on jelly more than once or twice a day, I suggest removing the feeders: Growing chicks and adults facing their end-of-summer molt need protein more than carbs.
