They come to my feeder. I have lots of humming bird food, so I thought I could use it for now.

Orioles love hummingbird food! They are also attracted to cut-up oranges. You can put the oranges on platform feeders, deck railings, or nailed to a tree.
Grape jelly is a great idea, and if you decide to give them a real treat, they will chow down on mealworms.
In the meantime, have fun with the hummingbird nectar! A bonus is that the nectar feeder may attract insects, which will make your backyard a heavenly haven for orioles.

The Baltimore Orioles around our house seem to like the Hummer nectar better than their own, but what they really, really love is grape jelly. Bird stores sell jelly feeders, or you can just put it out in small custard cups.

???
sugar water??
check you local Co op feed store
a 50lb sack of chicken scratch should be about $10 (if the ethanol dung hasn't pushed the price Like tortillas).
True Value has a wild bird feed at very reasonable price.

Make your own. 2 cups of water and add 1/3 cup if white sugar. Boil till sugar is dissolve, cool the liquid then use the cooled sugar water. Keep any leftover sugar water in the frig. as it can spoil.

you are able to supply it some millet, and a few culmination and vegetables, yet do not forget that the culmination and greens can not make up one hundred% of its nutrition habitual or it gets digestive issues. Please, purely pass to the shop and get some extra nutrition! {{...*Spontania*...}}

You can try.
The worst thing that can happen is they won't eat it and the hummers will.
