Oriole Feeder Found

A pair of orioles found my feeder a little while ago. By the time I got my camera out they were gone. They checked out the hummingbird feeder too. I had to rehang the feeder. I noticed the jelly was spilling out. First I thought it was the wind, than I saw a Mourning Dove fluttering away from the feeder. It had tried to land on the perch and the feeder tipped, scaring the bird. So than I knew what was causing the spills. I rehung it with the wire holding up the front so I wouldn't tip. It held steady when Mama Oriole landed. It has strawberry jelly now. I need to get some grape. That is their favorite.
