Thanks for this reminder, John. I always feel a sense of despair when I know people are feeding grape jelly or any other fruit preserve. Complete with added flavorings and colors. Killjoy that I am, I view it as junk food for birds. (Yes I know that sugar water could be considered that too). My orioles get oranges, period! And BTW catbirds and woodpeckers also like oranges.

Most other non-organic jellies contain ingredients I would not consume let alone feed to the birds. Sugar substitutes are a special problem.
