Notice how many worms she can gather in her beak at one time.
She was still collecting after I took the picture. The pic is
a bit foggy looking as it was taken through a window and screen.

Amazing! - Smart oriole behavior
By Greg D. of Huntington Beach:
This is a great observation and more knowledge about these amazing birds.

Olivia,
Not a made up story.
The male catches his prey, strips the wings and dunks in nectar and flies it
back to the nest. I have yet to locate their 2nd nest. They
actually removed one of the yellow baskets from the Hummer feeder so the larger
hole could accommodate their bill, pretty smart. This is a great observation and more knowledge about these amazing birds.
