Question
   Thanks for volunteering.  (We love our hummingbirds)

Also, we want to attract orioles.  We live in Minnesota in summer and Arizona in winter.  Do you know what kind of feeder
will attract them?

             Thanks,  Dick  

Answer
You can shop around for a better price. But this website had decent examples of everything I'm going to mention.

But an Oriole feeders look like this:

It's made to hold fruit or cups of jelly, or citrus based nectar.

Or there are feeders made to hold apples and pears like this:

They also enjoy suet during the winter. Find a citrus blend:

have a bird bath as well. Since it freezes where you live, you can get heated bird baths.

Orioles are attracted to orange, yellow and red.

Hope this answers your question,
