A week ago I put up my 2 oriole feeders. They have 4 jelly spots and 4 orange holders each. Had some takers at first but now its crazy. Today had to fill them with jelly at 9 am. 1 pm fill again. They were empty at 3 pm and put on 8 orange wedges. 6 pm their gone. They ate a 30 oz. jar of jelly and 2 oranges in 9 hrs. I even had them trying to eat out of the hummer feeder. I'll go broke feeding them!!  Brad

Are you watching all this, or maybe you have fat squirrels?

Not tree rats. I've seen up to 11 orioles at once trying to feed on my feeders.

I feel your pain. Same thing here too. Only I’m using 4 feeders that are set up the same way. I really enjoy having them here, so I’ll keep it up. Once they get to nesting it slows down.

How many can you fit in a flat rate box? They are a rare and welcome sight here.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Honey bees found our feeder and would empty the jelly in a day with the one feeder we have up.

Orioles and Blue Jays are both hogs in many ways.

We have the same problem , They are way thicker at the feeder with Welches than the cheap dollar store grade especially later like nesting time .Not looking to argue ,try some of each and the welches or good grades go fastest

Some observation results.
They will eat the jelly first and then the oranges.
Some have a darker leg and a lighter leg on the same bird. Almost black and white on a few.
The feeders are about 7' from the window.

I had a pair of scarlet tanagers this afternoon. Been a long time since I’ve seen any of them. 1 of the prettiest birds there is. Indigo bunting is next. IMO.
