This Kettle Moraine fruit feeder holds a single orange half on a spike, offering the citrus that orioles and other fruit-eaters seek out when they return in spring. The recycled poly-lumber body holds up to weather and the sticky residue of fruit far better than untreated wood.
Hang it in an open, visible spot in spring as orioles arrive, replace the orange every few days so it stays fresh, and pair it with a jelly feeder for a fuller oriole spread. The simple design rinses clean in seconds.
Kettle Moraine has built backyard bird feeders in Wisconsin for years, working in natural cedar and recycled poly lumber made to last outdoors.
