I have nectar feeders on my patio by the kitchen window, right at the window of my office, and by my bedroom window. This gives me a good view as they come to feed.

Dear Ruth: The bird with the yellow breast was probably an oriole, which is a nectar feeder. You can purchase oriole feeders, which have perches and bigger holes to accommodate their bigger beaks.

We made our jelly feeder in about five minutes. The container once held deli olives. Two holes were drilled to accommodate the perch, an old paint brush.

Clever, huh. Something has happened this year, however, that has brought more orioles to feeders -- and the yards that hold them -- for the first time. In short, the birds are desperate.
