An Oriole and His Gift

oriole_and_insect.jpg

This Oriole is everything I would want in a man. His job is to catch food for his mate while she sits on the elaborate nest they built together. And so he caught this insect, perhaps a praying mantis or a grasshopper to please her. But instead of speeding off to the nest, he came to the Oriole feeder in order to dip it in grape jelly. He dips it into the jelly several times to make sure it is fully coated before heading off to present his gift to his mate. He is so clever, thoughtful, and inspiring.

And so this is what I want, a man who will dip my grasshopper in grape jelly for me. It is after all the little things in life that matter.

So sweet of the male oriol to please his partner in such way.
Wonderful photo.

What a thoughtful token of his love! They do love grape jelly, don't they?

i've put out peanut butter for birds in the winter but this is the first time i ever heard of feeding jelly to birds. next up will be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches i guess
