Thanks for this reminder, John. I always feel a sense of despair when I know people are feeding grape jelly or any other fruit preserve. Complete with added flavorings and colors. Killjoy that I am, I view it as junk food for birds. (Yes I know that sugar water could be considered that too). My orioles get oranges, period! And BTW catbirds and woodpeckers also like oranges.

Please be careful with this as many birds can be sickened by other than pure cane sugars. Most other non-organic jellies contain ingredients I would not consume let alone feed to the birds. Sugar substitutes are a special problem.
