Michigan-Rugged Construction: Unlike thin plastic alternatives, this feeder is made of sturdy powder-coated steel. It is built to survive our brisk May winds and those sudden Great Lakes rain showers.
- Weather-Protected Design: The unique "orange slice" roof doesn't just attract birds—it provides a vital shield, keeping your jelly and fruit dry during spring drizzle.
- Space for the Whole Family: Equipped with four perches, this feeder allows multiple birds to land and dine comfortably at once, reducing the territorial bickering often seen at smaller stations.
🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤
- The "First Sighting" Secret: Michigan orioles are often heard before they are seen. Listen for their clear, flute-like whistle in late April. Pro-Tip: Get this feeder out by April 20th. Once they find a reliable "jelly joint," they are likely to stay in your neighborhood for the entire nesting season.
- The Mealworm Migration: In early June, when Michigan orioles are feeding their young, they crave protein. Pro-Tip: Swap the jelly in one of the glass cups for live or dried mealworms. You’ll be helping the parents provide essential nutrients to the next generation of Michigan songbirds.
- Ant-Proofing Your Station: Because this metal feeder does not have a built-in moat, our Michigan ants will find the jelly quickly. We recommend hanging this from an ant moat filled with water to keep your grape jam pest-free.
- Fruit Variety: While oranges are the standard, Michigan orioles also love dark grapes or even halved plums. Use the metal spikes to experiment with different seasonal fruits to see what your local flock prefers.

- Dimensions: 11.5" W x 11.5" D x 8" H.

When the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds arrive in the Great Lakes state, they are looking for high-energy fuel to recover from their long migration. The Perky-Pet® Clear Hummingbird Nectar (ODSMB707) provides a convenient, mess-free way to keep your feeders full without the hassle of boiling water or measuring sugar.
This 64oz "Ready-to-Use" formula is scientifically blended with a 15% sucrose concentration, mimicking the natural nectar found in Michigan wildflowers like Bee Balm and Trumpet Creeper. Because it is 100% clear, it contains no artificial red dyes, making it a safer and healthier choice for the delicate systems of your backyard "flying jewels."

-
Hermetically Sealed: Stays fresh in the bottle until opened, allowing you to stock up before the spring migration begins.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The "Clean & Fill" Routine: During a humid Michigan July, nectar can ferment quickly. Empty and clean your feeders every 2–3 days, then refill with fresh ODSMB707 to keep your birds healthy.
-
Red is the Lure, Not the Liquid: Since this nectar is clear, ensure your feeder has red parts (like the base or ports) to attract the birds' attention. They find the feeder by color but keep coming back for the high-quality taste.

Why You’ll Love It
-
Instant Attraction: The red color helps birds find your feeder faster, especially in large yards or new garden setups where birds haven't established a routine yet.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The "Summer Swelter" Rule: During Michigan's humid 80°F+ days, nectar can spoil or ferment in as little as 48 hours. Use this ODSMB700 to quickly refresh your feeders every 2 days to ensure your birds stay healthy and hydrated.
-
Placement for Success: Hang your red nectar feeder near tubular flowers like Cardinal Flower or Trumpet Vine to create a "pollinator pocket" that hummingbirds simply can't resist.
-
Cleaning is Key: Even with high-quality nectar, mold can grow on feeding ports. Give your feeder a quick scrub with a bottle brush every time you refill it with this ready-to-use formula.
