Why it may suit you
- Grape jelly kept covered in its own jar, so you never scoop it.
Know before you buy
- Clean the tray often: jelly in the open draws bees and ants.
- To use your own jelly jar, check it holds 32 oz and has a 2½ in mouth.

Before it goes outside
Check the exact mount and any required adapters, the loaded weight, and whether you can safely reach the feeder for cleaning. Keep included parts visible on your shopping list so you do not buy them twice.
Jelly, fruit and nectar spoil quickly in warm weather: put out what the orioles finish in a day or two and wash the dishes every few days.
