They love grape jelly as much as oranges.

The (rather battered -- thanks bears!) oriole feeder in the photo is triple-threat. Besides the oranges, it is full of nectar (which I make at 1:3 strength in the early season for hungry migrators) and the little side-cups are filled with store-brand grape jelly.

I have two of the recalled Thermos. They are small lunch size containers with a built in spoon holder. I don't plan on sending them back. They work great. Use them appropriately and there are no issues.
