I always understood only cuckoos could eat hairy caterpillars.  We have many 
Processionary Caterpillars on our block in Bundaberg, Qld at the moment. We 
have just witnessed an Olive-backed Oriole eat five caterpillars in a row. The 
bird shook each one for some time before swallowing them. There is a bird bath 
nearby and the Oriole didn't drink at all during the feeding.
