I saw it in Walmart. I didn't see it online.

Worth a shot, but first find out if squirrels will actually be an issue for you.

Orioles. No luck so far, but it often takes a while for new species to discover dedicated feeders.
This game is very much hit or miss, but with the Orioles it's almost entirely miss.

Ah so just for that one species.
It's out there for the Orioles, though it seems like the Gray Catbird likes it as well, they've been pounding the jelly that I put out.
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

I had them for a few weeks, until I think 5 gray catbirds scared them away.
A friend that lives 3/4 of a mile away had them today.

We are talking about jelly not nuts. The nuts go jelly and the jelly goes nuts.

Am I the one confused? The birds go nuts for the jelly, and elijelly goes nuts for the jelly feeders

Amazon has this:https://smile.amazon.com/Kaytee-100033677-Nyjer-Thistle-Seed/dp/B0002AQQTW/ref=sr_1_3?crid=34FA6IWIBH6BZ&dchild=1&keywords=thistle+seed+for+birds&qid=1588857430&s=lawn-garden&sprefix=thistle%2Clawngarden%2C170&sr=1-3
Sure, but that's 3x the price of Walmart.
Afterwards, I found it in Walmart for less. So I tried to return the Amazon one. It was not returnable, so I chatted. They refunded it - without having to return it. So back goes the Walmart one, because in the end, Amazon IS cheaper. ;D

That.Was.Awesome.
You should see it live. These little suckers jumping tree to tree aggravating my dogs. One fell one time and almost was caught. He would have been dead meat.  :)

We were given a bird show this past shabbos in our tree next to our dining room- mother n father cardinal feeding 2 babies right in front of the window. Then some really small blue bird with a white dot on the wings pecking around. A few others we haven’t seen before and then the most remarkable one: a small bird completely striped blue and white from beak to bottom! It was so cool! We had to delay our settlers game for this  ;)
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

That's awesome lol. Where are you located?

That blue and white bird sounds like a bluejay, but they're relatively large.
