I have been feeding birds for over 20 years and have never seen this! Woodpeckers love oranges! I cut them in half and put them on nails on fence post.

I was watching my hummingbird feeder yesterday afternoon and the same kind of bird perched on it..I did not realize that finches like the nectar also. I looked the bird up in my bird book to make sure I identified it correctly. That is a house finch.
