Grape Jelly as a condiment

[KC]

I have now seen a Baltimore Oriole, a Gray Catbird, and a Downy Woodpecker bring an insect in its beak, dip the insect in the jelly in my jelly feeder, and then fly off.

I saw this for the first time last year with an oriole and thought it was a fluke. Now, not so much. :-)

I wonder what would happen if you put out some peanut butter too.

On the subject of unusual feeder behavior I have a robin that is visiting my sunflower feeder.  I think it is actually eating the seeds but it might be an inspector from the health department

LOL! And a couple of slices of bread. I wouldn't put it past the catbirds to make pb&j sandwiches.  :-)
