On the other hand, orioles love oranges, as mentioned earlier. Many nectar feeders designed for orioles provide a specific location to offer orange slices.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_time_of_year_do_you_put_out_oriole_feeders\"><\/span>What time of year do you put out oriole feeders?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Put oriole feeders out in <b>late March or early April to attract the first spring migrants, and keep feeders out late into the fall for birds moving down from the north.

Where is the best place to put an oriole feeder? Orioles prefer staying close to trees and shrubbery, so place an oriole feeder <b>near trees when possible, and out of the direct sun<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_orioles_return_to_the_same_place_every_year\"><\/span>Do orioles return to the same place every year?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Put oriole feeders out in <b>late March or early April to attract the first spring migrants, and keep feeders out late into the fall for birds moving down from the north.

And to complicate things a bit more, the diet of an oriole changes from the time they arrive back from migration to the time they leave again at the end of summer.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_should_I_put_out_mealworms_for_orioles\"><\/span>When should I put out mealworms for orioles?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Get your jelly feeder up in <b>April, when migration is in full swing. It may take some time for orioles to find your jelly feeders. Birds need to feed their young protein-rich foods, like insects, but once the offspring have fledged, their parents often bring them to jelly feeders.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_orioles_stay_in_Michigan_in_winter\"><\/span>Do orioles stay in Michigan in winter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During July, most baby orioles are leaving the nest and becoming independent.

Preferred habitat includes the edges of rivers, swamps, lakeshores, open woodlands, farms, and scrublands. <b>In winter, they migrate south to Mexico through South America.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_should_you_stop_feeding_orioles_in_Michigan\"><\/span>When should you stop feeding orioles in Michigan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So even though orioles may still be in the area, it&#8217;s pretty common for them to stop visiting feeders in <b>early summer.
