Inktober 11: Sour

Live giving you lemons? Make lemonade! Or, if you prefer, make an oriole feeder! Unlike many songbirds, orioles are a rare sight at normal bird feeders. They will, however, visit special oriole feeders stocked with sliced citrus fruits. Orioles feed mainly on insects and nectar, but they also go for fruit juice-- especially from citruses such as oranges, grapefruits, and lemons. The sour taste of lemon juice doesn't seem to bother them.
