Welch's Grape Jelly (30 oz)

5/5 — Our Rating

Our Review

Grape jelly is the #1 way to attract Baltimore Orioles. Just put a small dish of it out in spring and watch. Orioles, catbirds, and even some woodpeckers can't resist it. Use regular Welch's — it works better than fancy artisan jellies.

Why We Love It

We put out a dish of grape jelly every April and it's like sending an open invitation to every oriole in the neighborhood. They show up within days and keep coming back all season. Cheapest bird attractant there is.

Our Tip

Offer in a shallow dish or oriole feeder. Switch to half-oranges mid-season — orioles eventually prefer fruit over jelly.
