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.

When the "scout" hummingbirds first return to Michigan in the spring, they are looking for high-visibility food sources. The Perky-Pet® Red Hummingbird Nectar (ODSMB700) is designed to act as a beacon, combining a 15% sucrose concentration with a vibrant red hue that mimics the most nectar-rich wildflowers in the Great Lakes state.

This 64oz bulk bottle is the ultimate "no-fuss" solution. There is no boiling, measuring, or mixing required. Simply open the ODSMB700 and pour it directly into your feeder. It’s perfect for the peak of the Michigan summer (July and August) when local Ruby-throats are at their most active and your feeders seem to empty overnight.

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.

• Ready-to-Pour: Save time in the kitchen. This formula is pre-mixed to the ideal 15% sugar-to-water ratio favored by wild hummingbirds.

• High Volume: The 64oz size provides enough nectar to keep multiple feeders filled during the busy "nesting and fledging" months.

• Hermetically Sealed: The bottle remains shelf-stable until opened, so you can stock up well before the May migration begins in Michigan.

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.
