Opus 467-3 Oriole Feeder, 16 oz capacity Review

I've never had an oriole feeder before. When I purchased this one and hung it up, it tipped to the side and leaked. So I modified the end of a half-inch diameter pole that I already had and mounted the feeder onto the pole. That took care of the tilting problem. Then I had ants crawl up the pole and fill the feeder. So I modified a hanging ant guard into a pole-mounted ant guard. That took care of the ants. Then, LO AND BEHOLD, I had an oriole come and feed.........off of my HUMMINGBIRD feeder. A couple of times he sat on this oriole feeder and looked at it but he didn't know what to do with it. He must have moved on because I only saw him for a day. Then I decided to take a black sharpie marker and color some very small round 'faux' or fake feeding holes over the slits in the rubber orange slices so that if I got another oriole he might know what to do with the feeder and stick his beak into the slit opening thinking it was a round opening like the hummingbird feeders have. The trick did eventually work.........with a hummingbird. She came and had a good look at it and was fooled, she drank from the oriole feeder and I have photos to prove it (see the image gallery for this product). So....I'm still waiting on an oriole to feed from this feeder. Sheesh! what a pain!
