The big cherry tree in my front yard blooms around April each year. Baltimore Orioles and humming birds like to drink from the flowers, but only would stay for a short time, then quickly leave. I had heard that Baltimore Orioles like oranges, so I cut an orange in half and poked it onto a metal hook that had once held a bird feeder. Sure enough, almost immediately after the oranges were put there, a couple female orioles came over and started eating the orange pulp and sipping the sweet juice. They stayed there quite awhile and came back the next few days until they had finished eating the oranges.
