Hi folks! Is the grape jelly just a sugar fix for the orioles upon their first few days of return to their breeding grounds? I ask because this is my first year of providing grape jelly and I'm puzzled by the sudden lack of interest. Last week I had several males and 2 females all over it. This week it's being completely ignored. The birds are still in the area, so what changed? 💐 Madonna
