Orchard orioles mostly eat insects and spiders during the
breeding season. Besides insects they will also eat fruit,
especially during the non-breeding season. These orioles were
attracted to fruit that was left in the trees at the South Padre
Convention Center. Down in tropical areas of Central America,
during the winter, the orchard oriole will eat nectar and pollen
from flowers. While they feed at the flowers pollen often
collects on their feathers and then drops off at the next flower
that they visit. Thus they join butterflies and bees as
important pollinators in the area. Welcome to Tuesday Tweets! To
join in the fun just post a photo of a bird and then link it by
here by using the handy dandy link below. Then make sure you
visit other sites to do a little bird watching.
