I knew they were in the area but I hadn't seen hide nor hair of one. So, I got out the trusty oranges and grape jelly and within 5 minutes (I swear!) he was out there.  Looks edible.  Smells like Smuckers. My fave!!!  I don't see anyone else around...  So, I guess I'll just dig in!!! MMMMMMMmmmm.  Michele

They are my favorites also being one of the most colorful birds to visit my back yard. I'll be breaking out the oranges and jelly shortly. ---------------

Thanks guys! It's surely a pleasure to have these birds back. Besides being so gorgeous, they have one of the catchiest songs, I think. I even hear my husband whistling it once in awhile. Michele

Mine showed up about 2 weeks ago and life has not been the same! I had to stock up today on more oranges and grape jelly they are such piggies (but I love it)! Thanks for posting the great shots!

I knew about the oranges but had never heard about the grape jelly--is that a critical element or just icing on the orange? Also, does it have to be grape or will other flavors do?
