My warbler didn't make it. We did over winter an oriole successfully in a juice bottle sunflower seed feeder I made for the chickadees a couple winters ago. It was hung in the grapevine, bounced a lot and swayed all the time as wind demanded. A squirrel chewed a hole big enough to get itself inside so I made a fresh one for the little birds (and squirrel) and the oriole got in the holey one. I just kept pushing grapes and apple/orange segments in there as well as the broken bits of sunflowers. I lined it with some fine grass. Someone said use grape jelly so I put some on the apple segments. Periodically it would work its way out and flop about and stumble around then make its way back up and in again. We thought we should try to heat it somehow but knew a reg lightbulb would burn it. The christmas lights could work and I have power I can use for that should we need that idea. It stayed quite late into the warn weather and wasn't at all nervous of us by the end. It just wasn't there one day. Don't know how much we had to do with it living through the cold weather but it chose to get in out of the wind and I suppose the bottle would be like a mini greenhouse when the sun was bright. It is so nice to have the group to go to for ideas, for sure!
