Bullock's Oriole and Window hit



We had four Bullock's Orioles show up this morning before church. One of them tried to get at our hummingbird feeder and another tried our seeds. A quick reference to our book said they like sugar water and fruit. I didn't have any fruit I thought they would like (they like oranges, right?), so I put out a jar of hummingbird nectar, hoping they would return. When we came home from church, the hummingbird feeder was significantly lower, but the jar wasn't. Can they get into them?

On a side note, what can you do for a bird that has hit the window? We have a House Finch that's been sitting on the porch for a while. We think she hit the window, but we're not sure. How do you keep your birds from hitting the windows?
