Baltimore Oriole

Photo: Baltimore oriole nesting in wild

The oriole bird, creates an amazing hanging nest and in there it lays its 4 or more eggs.

These birds are very attractive and they are omnivores, These attractive birds frequent woodlands and eat common creatures including caterpillars and insects supplemented by fruits and berries. The Baltimore oriole's appetite for caterpillars may help protect forests from some destructive pests. In the backyard, they can be enticed to visit feeders with oranges, nectars, or peanut butter.
