orange stink beetles

Again, not birds, but perhaps food for birds? They are infesting my large lemon tree and my smaller cumquat tree. How do I safely get rid of them? I have just removed some by hand and my fingers, despite wearing thin gloves and then being washed, are covered in orange. The immature beetles are not orange and so are not easily seen

Any bird interested in these for food? They do stink. I have never had them before
