[nysbirds-l] Odd B Oriole behavior question
Hi NYS Birders, I had an odd display of B Oriole behavior a few days ago. I have two potted hibiscus plants under my two hummingbird feeders. Yes I know they are non-native but they do attract hummingbirds and they are potted. One is on the front deck and the other on the back. I have an occasional visit from a female B Oriole to my suet feeders. She likes to cover both spots. Well I observed her on the back hibiscus and she proceeded to snip, with surgical precision, every red flower on the plant. She then went to the front deck and did the same to that hibiscus and I do mean with surgical precision. Every flower was nipped without touching the stem or the green leaves surrounding the base. I thought maybe she needed the flowers for something but she just flew off leaving the flowers untouched and unused. Has anyone ever seen this type of behavior from an oriole before ??? I would be interested in knowing the reason.
