All this talk of hummingbirds makes me envious :-(.  We do not get many
hummingbirds where I live on the Colorado plains, but we do get
a good number of northern orioles (Bullock's race).  I am told that
orioles are attracted to sugar water feeders like hummingbirds.
Has anyone out there had any experience with this?  Do they take the
same sugar water solution as hummingbirds?  What kind of feeder
should be provided (I assume a perch is required)?  Is there a
preferred location for the feeder?  Thanks in advance for the info!
