The IDEAL Woodpecker Seed Cake (01480) is a nutrient-rich, compressed feeding block formulated to meet the high energy requirements of woodpeckers and other woodland birds. By focusing on high-protein nuts and oil-rich seeds, this cake mimics the natural diet these birds would find while foraging on trees, providing a convenient and reliable food source in your own backyard.

Unlike standard seed mixes, this cake is designed with larger pieces of nuts and seeds that woodpeckers prefer. The compressed 2lb block is easy to use, mess-free, and stays firmly in place within a standard suet or seed cake cage, allowing birds to feed comfortably in their natural clinging position.

Why You’ll Love It

• Woodpecker Targeted: The specific blend of nuts and seeds is highly attractive to Downy, Hairy, Red-bellied, and Pileated Woodpeckers.

• Nutrient-Dense: Rich in fats and protein to support the high energy demands of active, climbing birds throughout the seasons.

• Low-Mess / No-Waste: Compressed ingredients ensure that birds eat every bit of the cake, leaving minimal debris on the ground beneath your feeder.

• Long-Lasting: The dense, 2lb block is slow-consuming, offering a great value and requiring fewer trips to the feeder to refill.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Tail-Prop Support: To maximize woodpecker activity, use a feeder with an extended board at the bottom. Woodpeckers use their tails for balance, and this support makes it much easier for them to feed for longer periods.

• Strategic Placement: Hang this cake near trees or wooded areas of your yard. Woodpeckers feel most secure when there is natural cover nearby.

• Year-Round Usage: Woodpeckers are non-migratory in many parts of the country; keeping this high-protein source available throughout the winter is a great way to support them during the coldest months.

The Woodpecker Small Seed Cylinder (9869) is a premium, compressed food source designed specifically for the high-metabolic needs of Michigan’s cavity-nesting birds. By blending heartier ingredients like pecans, walnuts, and peanuts with black oil sunflower seeds, this cylinder provides the dense fats and proteins that woodpeckers crave, especially during the nesting season and the lean winter months.

Unlike loose seed, the cylinder format requires birds to spend more time at the feeder, giving you better opportunities for observation and photography. It’s a "no-mess" solution—the compressed nature of the cylinder means less seed ends up on the ground, which helps deter unwanted visitors like mice or squirrels from scavenging under your station.

Why You’ll Love It

• Premium Nut Blend: Contains a high concentration of pecans and walnuts—two of the most effective lures for Michigan's larger woodpecker species.

• Mess-Free Feeding: Compressed into a solid form to prevent "sorting" and waste; everything in the cylinder is edible.

• Long-Lasting: A single 27oz cylinder lasts significantly longer than a standard suet cake, providing a consistent food source for your backyard residents.

• Multi-Species Appeal: While designed for Woodpeckers, it is also a favorite for Chickadees, Nuthatches, and Tufted Titmice.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Feeder Compatibility: This cylinder (SKU: 9869) is best used with a dedicated cylinder feeder or a spike-style feeder. For added protection from Michigan’s sudden rain or snow, use a feeder with a weather guard/roof.

• The "Winter Lifeline": During a Michigan "Polar Vortex," birds lose significant body weight overnight. Hanging one of these high-fat cylinders provides an immediate, high-calorie energy boost at dawn.

• Woodpecker Variety: In the Great Lakes region, this blend is particularly effective at attracting the Red-headed Woodpecker and Northern Flicker, in addition to the common Downy and Hairy varieties.

Unlike loose seed, the cake format is "no-mess," meaning everything in the cake is edible and there are no hulls to sweep up from your patio or deck. It is held together with high-quality gelatin, ensuring it won't melt in the humid 90°F Michigan summer heat or crumble in the winter wind.

All Season Wren Casita — Seed-Coated Birdhouse & Feeder in One

Welcome wild birds in style with the All Season Wren Casita — a delightful wood and seed-coated wren house that serves as both a nourishing feeder and a cozy nesting home. This unique combo delivers double value: first a tasty seed and nut feast for your feathered friends, then a welcoming birdhouse they can call home.

🌿 Why the Wren Casita is Special

• Feeder + Birdhouse in One — The wooden house is decorated with premium seed, nuts, and natural accents, offering a tempting meal that attracts seed-loving birds. Once the seed is eaten, the sturdy house remains — ready for wrens (and other small songbirds) to nest in year after year. 

• Backyard Wildlife Magnet — Wrens, chickadees, titmice, finches and more are drawn to the mix of seed and safe shelter. The “all-season” build means birds can use it anytime — for feeding now, nesting later. 

• Ready to Hang or Mount — Use the included hanger to suspend the house from a tree limb, bracket, or shepherd’s hook near a window for easy bird-watching. Later, mount it 6–10 feet up on a post or tree trunk for nesting — just where wrens feel safe. 

• Thoughtful Gift for Bird Lovers — Whether for the holidays, a birthday, or just because — this seed-and-shelter house is a beautiful, useful, and heartwarming present for anyone who loves backyard birds and nature. 

Imagine watching your yard transform: first, birds flocking eagerly to feast. Later, little wrens might move in, building nests and raising their young. With the All Season Wren Casita, you give them food and a home — creating a living, breathing backyard ecosystem that brings joy and wonder.

Bring home the Wren Casita and invite a lifetime of feathered guests to your outdoor space 🌳
