If you feed birds in Michigan, you know how quickly seed can end up scattered under your feeder. The Quick Clean Bigfoot Tray helps keep your backyard feeding area cleaner while giving birds a comfortable place to perch and eat.

This tray attaches beneath compatible tube feeders and catches falling seed before it reaches the ground. That means less waste, less mess, and fewer unwanted critters visiting your feeding station.

Backyard bird feeding in Michigan can sometimes leave a trail of seed shells and debris underneath your feeder. The Auto Tray Seed Catcher is designed to help solve that problem while making your feeder more comfortable for birds to use.

Built as the perfect companion for Quick-Clean tube feeders with a 2¾-inch diameter, this tray attaches directly to the base of the feeder and catches seeds before they fall to the ground.

Hummingbirds are one of the most exciting backyard visitors during the warmer months in Michigan. Keeping nectar fresh and protected can make a big difference in attracting these fast-moving little birds. The HummBella Dome is designed to help protect hummingbird feeders from both sun and rain, creating a better feeding environment for your backyard hummingbirds.

This 10-inch red-tinted weather dome sits directly above your hummingbird feeder and acts as a protective shield. The tinted plastic helps block direct sunlight, which slows the evaporation process and helps nectar last longer during warm summer days. By providing shade, it also helps keep nectar fresher and more appealing for visiting hummingbirds.

The dome also helps protect nectar during rainy weather. By preventing rain from entering the feeder, it helps keep nectar from becoming diluted during sudden summer storms—a common occurrence in Michigan’s changing weather.

Designed for convenience, the dome can easily be removed whenever you need to clean or refill your feeder. This makes regular maintenance quick and simple, which is important for keeping hummingbirds healthy.

The HummBella Dome is compatible with several popular hummingbird feeders, including HighView and Classic HummZinger feeders such as the Mini, Ultra, and Excel models. Built from durable plastic and made in the USA, it’s a simple but effective accessory for anyone serious about backyard hummingbird feeding.

Whether you're watching hummingbirds hover on a sunny Michigan morning or during a light summer rain, the HummBella Dome helps protect your feeder and keep nectar fresh longer.
