Any Oriole Experts?

I have two pair of Baltimore Orioles that eat almost a full squeeze bottle of grape jelly every day.
The males are brightly colored and the females are the same size and duller orange.

My question is....why do the males have to feed the females? The pic shows a pair of them on the top of the feeder after the male has filled his mouth with jelly. He will then drop the whole works into the females mouth....over and over.

The second pic shows another male loading up to feed either one of the females.

They can't be new chicks....they wouldn't be that big? Or are they?
