Catbird seat

We have a pair of Gray Catbirds that come to the feeder and eat the oranges we have put out for the Orioles. Of course, the Orioles are ignoring the oranges. The Catbird pair stays close to one another and when one is on the oranges, the other waits nearby in the bushes. Catbirds love to nest in shrubby edges, which we have lots of. Wonder if they will bring their young to the fruit once then have fledged.
