We have been feeding Orioles grape jelly for several years now. Before, we just had a flat board with an ice cream bucket cover on it to hold the jelly. The jelly melted and washed away in the rain and congealed on the hot sunny days. So, after seeing a store bought feeder that had a cover, I did my own design and made a new one with a clear top and open on all sides. It will protect the jelly and the birds. Below are pictures of the old and the new feeders.
This is the old feeder.
This is the new feeder with a customer on board.
Another shot of the new feeder. It has a Plexi Glass top. The dishes are the glass lids to some small bowls we have.
