Why Orange Flavor Works:
Many beautiful songbirds are naturally drawn to fruit and citrus. The orange flavor mimics natural food sources, signaling to passing birds that your feeder offers the nutrition they're seeking. This makes it particularly effective during migration when birds are actively searching for high-energy food.
Peak Migration Times:
Orange Suet is especially effective during spring (April-May) when orioles and tanagers return, and fall (September-October) when southbound migrants need to build fat reserves. Keep this suet available during these peak times for the best chance of attracting stunning visitors.
How to Use:
- Remove orange suet cake from wrapper
- Place in standard suet cage feeder or specialized oriole feeder
- Hang 5-6 feet off ground, preferably near trees or shrubs
- For orioles, consider placing near blooming flowers or in open areas
- Replace when significantly consumed (typically 3-7 days to 2-3 weeks)
Feeding Tips:
- Place in visible locations where migrating birds can spot it
- Position near trees with natural perches
- For orioles, pair with grape jelly and orange halves for maximum attraction
- Use bright orange feeder cages—orioles are drawn to orange color
- Keep feeders stocked throughout migration season
Seasonal Benefits:
Spring (Apr-May): Prime time for attracting returning orioles and tanagers, provides energy after long migration, supports breeding birds establishing territories
Summer (Jun-Aug): No-melt formula stays solid in heat, supports nesting birds and growing fledglings, supplements natural fruit abundance
Fall (Sep-Oct): Fuels southbound migration, helps birds build critical fat reserves, attracts migrating warblers and other fruit-lovers
Winter (Nov-Mar): Supports overwintering bluebirds and traditional suet visitors, provides essential high-energy food when fruits are scarce
Complete Oriole Feeding Station:
For maximum attraction, pair Orange Suet with grape jelly in a shallow dish, fresh orange halves on a platform feeder, and an oriole nectar feeder. This combination is irresistible to orioles and tanagers.
Storage:
Store unused cakes in a cool, dry place. Refrigerator or freezer storage extends shelf life. Keep in original wrapper until ready to use. Use within 12 months for optimal quality and freshness.
