The Ultimate Defensive Fortress for Your Michigan Bird Sanctuary!

In Michigan, we don't just feed the birds; we defend their buffet. The Audubon AV1MNP Heavy Duty Caged Feeder is a fortress built for the Mitten State’s most dedicated birders. With a staggering 18 lb capacity, this is one of the largest caged feeders on the market, ensuring that even during the busiest migratory waves, your birds have a reliable place to dine.

• Massive 18 lb Seed Reservoir: Spend more time watching and less time trudging through the snow. This jumbo hopper holds enough seed to last through a long Michigan winter weekend, reducing the need for constant refills.
• Tactical Cage Design: The heavy-duty metal cage is specifically spaced to allow colorful songbirds like Goldfinches, Chickadees, and Nuthatches in, while keeping out squirrels and aggressive "bully" birds like Blue Jays and Grackles.
• Rugged Construction: Built with a powder-coated metal top and base combined with tough recycled plastic, this feeder won't crack in a -20°F wind chill or yellow in the humid July sun.
• EZ-Open Maintenance: Despite its size, cleaning is a breeze thanks to the EZ-open base design, ensuring your Michigan flock stays healthy and the feeder stays sanitary.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Lake-Effect" Anchor: When fully loaded with 18 lbs of seed, this feeder weighs over 25 lbs. Do not hang this from a standard branch or a thin decorative hook. We strongly recommend a heavy-duty 4x4 post mount or a high-capacity steel pole system anchored deep into the ground.
• Safflower Strategy: If you find that the local squirrels are still trying to chew through the cage, fill this feeder with Safflower seed. Michigan squirrels generally dislike the bitter taste, but our Northern Cardinals and Chickadees love it!
• Winter De-Icing: Our freezing rains can glaze over the cage openings. Because this model is built with heavy-duty metal, you can safely give it a firm tap with a wooden mallet to break the ice and allow your birds access.
• Spring Humidity Defense: With 18 lbs of seed, moisture is the enemy. Every few days, give the feeder a quick shake to rotate the seed and ensure the internal baffle is keeping the flow moving toward the ports to prevent clumping in our damp Michigan springs.

Bring the Soothing Sound of Moving Water to Your Michigan Garden—No Wires Required!

Birds are naturally drawn to the sound of splashing water, and there’s no easier way to upgrade your bird bath than with the Woodlink 25479 Solar Fountain Pump. Designed to harness our bright Michigan summer sun, this compact pump creates a beautiful water display that attracts everything from Ruby-throated Hummingbirds to Cedar Waxwings. Because it’s 100% solar-powered, you can place it anywhere in your yard without worrying about finding an outdoor outlet or tripping over extension cords.

• Four Customizable Spray Patterns: Includes four interchangeable nozzles that allow you to choose your favorite water style, from a gentle bubble to a high-reaching spray.
• Eco-Friendly Performance: Powered entirely by a high-efficiency solar panel, this pump costs $0 to run and is completely environment-friendly.
• Plug-and-Play Setup: Designed for "set it and forget it" ease—simply place the pump in at least 1.2 inches of water, position the solar panel in direct sunlight, and watch your fountain come to life in seconds.
• Durable & Compact: At just 4.5 inches in diameter, this fountain fits perfectly in standard bird baths, small ponds, or even a decorative whiskey barrel.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Mosquito Defense": Stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes in the Great Lakes State. Pro-Tip: Use this fountain to keep your bird bath water moving; mosquitoes cannot lay eggs in rippling water, making your backyard safer for your family and your birds.
• Hummingbird Magnet: While most birds like to wade, Michigan’s Ruby-throated Hummingbirds actually prefer to "fly through" a fine mist. Use the highest-spray nozzle setting on sunny afternoons to provide a refreshing shower for these tiny visitors.
• The "Shadow" Factor: Solar pumps are sensitive. Even the shadow of a single Michigan Maple leaf falling across the panel can cause the pump to stop or stutter. Ensure your panel is placed in a spot that gets uninterrupted direct sunlight from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
• Winter Care: This pump is a "summer specialist." To protect the motor and the solar cells from Michigan’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles, bring the unit indoors once the first frost hits in October. Store it in a dry place like your garage or basement until spring.

Compact, airtight, and ready for the shifting Michigan seasons.

Because Michigan’s Hardworking Birds Deserve a Fresh Drink!
While feeders provide the fuel, water is the secret to a truly diverse Michigan backyard. The Audubon NAW32GL Glass Water Feeder is a game-changer for local birders. During our humid July afternoons or those dry, snowless stretches of winter, this high-capacity reservoir ensures your feathered neighbors stay hydrated without you needing to refill a small dish every few hours.

• Massive 32 oz Reservoir: One of the largest waterers on the market, holding a full quart of fresh water. This is a lifesaver for busy Michigan families who want to provide for their birds even on long weekends "up north."
• 360° Wraparound Perch: Designed with a wide basin and a perfectly sized circular perch, it allows multiple birds—from Eastern Bluebirds to Black-capped Chickadees—to drink and preen at the same time.
• Durable Blue-Tinted Glass: The thick, high-quality glass reservoir isn't just beautiful; it's built to last. Unlike plastic waterers that can crack or cloud in the Michigan sun, this glass stays clear and is a breeze to sanitize.
• Easy Monitoring: The transparent design lets you check water levels from your kitchen window, so you know exactly when it’s time for a top-off.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Liquid Gold" Secret: Many Michigan birds, like American Robins and Cedar Waxwings, don't visit seed feeders but will flock to your yard for a reliable water source. Adding this waterer can instantly double the variety of species in your garden.
• Summer Algae Defense: Michigan’s summer humidity can turn still water green quickly. Pro-Tip: Hang this feeder in a partially shaded area to keep the water cool and slow down algae growth.
• The Winter Freeze Warning: While water is vital during Michigan winters, glass can crack if the water freezes solid. We recommend bringing this glass unit inside when the forecast calls for a deep freeze, or swapping it for a heated birdbath during the peak of January.
• Sanitation is Key: Birds drink and bathe in the same water. To keep your local flock healthy and prevent the spread of avian diseases, we recommend a quick scrub with a 9:1 water-to-vinegar solution every few days.

Bring "Pure Michigan" Elegance to Your Garden with the Ultimate Hummingbird Haven!

There is no more magical sight in a Michigan summer than the iridescent flash of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. The Audubon 24908 (WL35240) is designed to be the crown jewel of your backyard. This sophisticated feeder combines vintage aesthetic charm with modern functionality, featuring a beautiful clear embossed glass reservoir and stunning rust-resistant copper accents that shimmer in the Great Lakes sun.

• Four High-Efficiency Ports: Equipped with 4 no-drip, flower-shaped feeding stations, this feeder allows multiple "hummers" to dine at once. Each port includes an integrated perch, inviting your guests to sit and stay awhile—giving you a better look at their vibrant colors.
• Built for Mitten Weather: The heavy-duty glass reservoir and rust-resistant copper-finished metal base are built to withstand Michigan’s humid July afternoons and sudden lake-effect rain showers without fading or corroding.
• User-Friendly Design: Maintenance is a breeze with the decorative screw-off base and wide-mouth reservoir. The glass bottle is top-rack dishwasher safe, ensuring you can provide a sanitary environment for your feathered friends with minimal effort.
• Perfectly Sized: The 14 oz capacity is the "Goldilocks" size for Michigan backyards—large enough to keep up with peak migration but small enough to ensure nectar stays fresh and doesn't spoil in the summer heat. 

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Tax Day" Target: In Michigan, our Ruby-throated Hummingbirds typically arrive between late April and early May. Pro-Tip: Get this feeder out by April 15th. Even if you don't see them yet, the "scouts" are looking for reliable food sources as they move north!
• Shade is Your Friend: Michigan’s summer sun can cause sugar water to ferment quickly. To keep your nectar fresh for 3-5 days, hang this feeder in a partially shaded area. This prevents the glass from acting like a greenhouse and "cooking" the nectar.
• The DIY Recipe: Don't use red dye—it can be harmful to these tiny birds! Simply mix 1 part white granulated sugar to 4 parts boiling water. Let it cool completely before filling. The red flowers on the base are all the "color" you need to attract them.
• Beat the Ants: Our Michigan ants love sugar as much as the birds do. We recommend hanging this from an Ant Moat filled with water to create a "drawbridge" that keeps crawling pests out of your nectar.

Keep Your Michigan Garden Tidy and Your Ground-Feeders Happy!

Tired of seeing your expensive birdseed disappear into the grass or attract unwanted "nighttime visitors"? The Audubon 23921 (NATUBETRAY) is the perfect cleanup solution for any Mitten State birding station. This durable, 10.5-inch tray catches falling seeds and hulls before they hit the ground, effectively turning your tube feeder into a multi-level dining experience for the whole flock.

• Universal Attachment: Designed to fit seamlessly onto all Woodlink and Audubon tube feeders (including the 8-Port Finch and 22-inch Yellow Finch models) using the included hardware. It also comes with a special plug adapter to fit many competitor brands.
• Accommodate More Species: By providing a stable, flat surface, you’ll attract beautiful Michigan ground-feeders like Northern Cardinals, Mourning Doves, and Dark-eyed Juncos who often struggle to perch on narrow tube feeders.
• Mitten-Weather Resistant: Crafted from high-impact, UV-stabilized polycarbonate, this tray won't yellow in the summer sun or crack during a sub-zero "Polar Vortex" winter.
• Smart Drainage: Features a double row of built-in drainage holes to ensure your seed stays dry and mold-free through sudden Great Lakes rain showers and heavy lake-effect snow.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Anti-Critter" Barrier: In Michigan, fallen seed is like a dinner bell for raccoons, opossums, and rodents. By catching the overflow, you keep the food off the ground and away from your home’s foundation, significantly reducing unwanted pest visits.
• Winter Ice Clearing: After a Michigan freezing rain event, the drainage holes can glaze over. Pro-Tip: Give the tray a quick, firm tap with a wooden spoon or mallet to break the ice; the heavy-duty plastic is built to take it without shattering.
• Cardinal Comfort: While Cardinals can use tube perches, they are much more comfortable on a flat platform. Adding this tray to your sunflower feeder will often double the number of Northern Cardinals visiting your yard at dawn and dusk.
• Spring Mud Defense: During our "mud season" in April, seed that hits the ground quickly rots and can grow harmful bacteria. This tray keeps the food elevated, clean, and safe for your spring nesting pairs.

Invite a Wide Variety of Michigan Songbirds to Dine Under Cover!

Attract everything from the vibrant Northern Cardinal to the elusive Evening Grosbeak with the Woodlink GGFLYTHRU Going Green Fly-Thru Feeder. This open-access platform feeder is a favorite for Michigan birders because it accommodates birds of all sizes—especially those ground-feeders that struggle with small perches. Crafted from 90% post-consumer recycled plastic, this eco-friendly station is built to endure the diverse and often harsh Great Lakes climate.

• Generous Open Design: The "fly-thru" layout allows birds to enter and exit from any direction, making them feel safe and comfortable. The large green roof provides a substantial shelter, protecting both your guests and their food from sudden Michigan rain showers or heavy lake-effect snow.
• Versatile Feeding Platform: This generously sized tray can hold up to 1.75 lbs of seed. Its open design is perfect for offering a wide menu beyond standard seed, including fruit, suet, mealworms, or whole peanuts to attract a broader variety of avian visitors.
• Superior Aeration & Drainage: Equipped with a green, powder-coated perforated metal screen base, this feeder ensures water drains away instantly. This keeps your seed dry and fresh, preventing the spoilage and mold that often occur during our damp, humid Michigan springs.
• Mitten-Proof Durability: Proudly Made in the USA, the recycled plastic construction is incredibly sturdy and will not absorb moisture, harbor bacteria, or crack and rot over time.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The Cardinal's Choice: Many of our favorite Michigan residents, like the Northern Cardinal, are ground-feeders that prefer a flat surface to stand on while eating. By providing this platform-style station, you'll see a dramatic increase in Cardinal activity compared to narrow tube feeders.
• Winter "Snow Plow" Strategy: During heavy snow, larger birds like Mourning Doves often act as "snow plows," kicking fresh snow out of the tray to reach the seed. This effort actually benefits smaller Michigan birds like Juncos and Sparrows who follow behind to find clear food.
• Humidity Defense: In the height of our humid July and August, seed in open trays can clump. Pro-Tip: The metal mesh bottom is your best friend here—every few days, give the tray a quick shake to ensure airflow continues to reach the bottom layer of seed.
• Pole Mounting for Success: This feeder is designed for pole or post mounting. In Michigan, we recommend mounting it on a sturdy pole with a squirrel baffle at least 10 feet away from any "launchpad" branches to keep local raccoons and squirrels from raiding the buffet.
