8. Fruit Feeder

Fruit feeders are ideal for attracting orioles, robins, and cedar waxwings. They use fresh or dried fruits instead of seeds.

Materials Needed:

  • Mesh bag, small basket, or old pantyhose
  • Twine or string
  • Fruit slices (apple, orange, berries)

Instructions:

  1. Place fruit slices in the mesh bag or basket.
  2. Hang from a tree branch with twine.
  3. Replace fruit regularly to prevent spoilage.

Fruit feeders add diversity to your feeding stations and attract species that may not be interested in seeds alone.
