Got grape jelly?

Not me, got the last jar at Walmart. Tried blackberry at twice the price but no way. Berry just lays there til it’s a hard gluey Lump.

Just think if every Walmart in the oriole area is out of grape jelly???? How can that be. Festival and Aldi Out. Maybe Kwiktrip for $4 a jar.

FREE GRAPE JELLY!!!

We don't get the orioles year round, but when they are passing through in the spring and fall, WOW!

Beautiful thing to see.

I have a suet feeder that looks like a house. Can I put grape jelly on that? How?

Every time it rains, the jelly dissolves. It needs a shelter.

My peanut butter is supposed to attract woodpeckers. My squirrel gets to it first, as they often do.

Stokes Select 38200 bird feeder sells on a large internet shopping hole is pretty and is $10.

For me, there is a wooden railing on which I florist clay to the bottom of votive candle holders and stick them to the railing.

Also trdbellied woodpeckers, grosbeaks andhummingbirds like jelly.

Smuckers.

I cut oranges up. I was late this year, I had not seen a one and thought I had missed my chance. I hung out a couple of orange slices on my deck and turned around and they were there. Everyone I have talked to said that the oranges bring them in then the jelly will work. Just my experience. I have so many that I go through 2 entire oranges a day. The Red Bellied Woodpeckers like them too, go figure, I had never seen that before.
