Where do Baltimore Orioles go after their chicks are raised?

Question

We had orioles in our backyard this year. After their chicks were a few weeks old the entire family vacated the nest. We feel so used! Just wondering where they go. We live in Long Island, NY. Thanks!

Answer 1

They probably left to go look for food.  Orioles are arboreal and tend to feed in the canopy. Many species are able to survive in open forests and woodlands, although a few are restricted to closed forest. They are opportunistic omnivores, with the main components of their diet being fruit, berries, and arthropods.
