	In Oklahoma we used to use an ordinary chicken waterer
purchased as a metal top to be screwed onto an ordinary quart
Mason Jar.  When inverted, it filled the saucer like top much
like any inverted liquid feeder.  We placed it on a flat slab
of concrete about four feet off the ground so the birds would
have a place to perch while feeding.  We would load it with
red sugar water.   The orioles would flock to it along with
Blue Jays and some other birds.  They would clean out a quart
bottle every day during the hot summer.
	The chicken watering bottle top was about 85 cents at
any feed coop.  It is probably two bucks now.
