I have put oranges out for years and am visited by orioles often in the
spring....there are three here now.  They also like suet and this year, I
bought some "orange zest" suets, thinking that the orioles would love
them.   Big mistake...*No one* is visiting my suet feeders so I looked at
the label.  "Orange flavoring"  Does that mean artificial orange
flavoring?  Tomorrow the unflavored suet goes out.
