There is something truly magical about the moment a ruby-throated hummingbird zips into your garden for a drink. Our WoodLink Vintage Glass Feeder captures that classic backyard feeling with its beautiful, square ruby-glass reservoir. It’s not just a feeder; it’s a piece of garden art that naturally catches the eye of every passing hummer with its vibrant red color.

Product Overview

The Woodpecker Small Seed Cylinder (9869) is a premium, compressed food source designed specifically for the high-metabolic needs of 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 peak nesting seasons and cold winter stretches.

Unlike loose seed, the solid cylinder format requires birds to spend more time perched at the feeder, giving you better opportunities for observation and photography. It offers a clean, low-mess feeding solution—its compressed design prevents seed from scattering on the ground, helping keep your feeding area neat and reducing ground-scavenging pests.

Why You’ll Love It

• Premium Nut Blend: Loaded with pecans and walnuts—two of the most enticing lures for larger woodland bird species.

• Mess-Free Feeding: Compressed into a solid form to prevent birds from sorting and tossing uneaten seed; every ingredient is 100% edible.

• Long-Lasting Value: A single 27oz cylinder lasts significantly longer than a standard suet cake, providing a continuous, reliable food supply.

• Multi-Species Appeal: While engineered for woodpeckers, it is equally loved by Chickadees, Nuthatches, and Tufted Titmice.

Ingredients

• Ingredients: Pecans, Walnuts, Roasted Peanuts, Black Oil Sunflower Seeds, Corn, Gelatin.

Pro Tips for the Backyard Birder

• Feeder Compatibility: Designed for use with dedicated seed cylinder feeders, wire basket feeders, or vertical spike feeders. For added protection against sudden rain or snow, hang it under a weather guard or protective roof.

• Winter Lifeline: During severe winter cold snaps, wild birds can lose significant body weight overnight. Hanging one of these high-fat, nut-dense cylinders provides an immediate, calorie-rich energy boost at first light.

• Attract Unique Species: In addition to common Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, this nut-rich blend is exceptionally effective at drawing in Red-headed Woodpeckers, Northern Flickers, and Red-bellied Woodpeckers.

The Classic Brands 3-in-1 Hummingbird Feeder (CBL30) is the ultimate "get-close" feeder for Michigan bird lovers. Designed with versatility in mind, this compact 6oz feeder adapts to however you want to watch your birds. Whether you want to hang it from a hook, place it in a flower pot, or hold it in your hand, this feeder makes it happen.

Its small 6oz capacity is a strategic advantage for the humid Great Lakes summer. By providing a smaller amount of nectar, you’ll naturally refresh the food more often, ensuring your visiting Ruby-throats always have the freshest, safest energy source. The bright red cover serves as an instant attractant, mimicking the vibrant blooms of a Michigan garden.

Why You’ll Love It

• Three-Way Versatility: Use the included hardware to hang it, mount it on a garden stake, or simply hold it in your hand for an incredible up-close experience.

• Hand-Feeding Ready: The base is designed to fit comfortably in your palm. With a little patience, you can train your Michigan hummers to feed right from your hand!

• Three Feeding Ports: Features integrated flower-style ports that provide a natural feeding position for your backyard visitors.

   

• Easy-to-Clean Dish Design: The simple "saucer" style base pops open for easy scrubbing, which is essential for preventing mold growth during a muggy July heatwave.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• The Hand-Feeding Challenge: To hand-feed, start by hanging the CBL30 in a consistent spot. Once the birds are used to it, try sitting near it. Eventually, hold the feeder in your hand while sitting in your usual spot—you’ll be amazed at how brave Michigan hummingbirds can be!

• Pot-Side Placement: Use the stake mount to place this feeder directly into a hanging basket of petunias or a pot of salvia. This creates a "natural" feeding station that birds will find irresistible.

• Freshness First: In Southern Michigan, where summer humidity can be high, change the nectar in this 6oz dish every 2 days to keep it from fermenting.

Specifications

• SKU / Code: CBL30

• UPC: 815562013005

• Capacity: 6 oz Nectar

• Feeding Ports: 3

• Mounting Options: Hanging Loop, Garden Stake, or Handheld

• Material: Durable, UV-Stabilized Plastic

Sometimes the "Little Bit" makes the biggest difference! The Classic Brands Little Bit Finch Feeder (CBL38194) is the ideal entry-level or space-saving solution for Michigan birders who want to attract American Goldfinches without committing to a massive feeding station.

Despite its compact 0.5lb capacity, this feeder utilizes a high-quality diamond-mesh screen that allows finches to cling to the sides and feed from any position. The bright yellow roof and base act as a visual "welcome sign" for Goldfinches, which are year-round residents in the Great Lakes state but especially active during the warm summer months.

Why You’ll Love It

• All-Over Clinging Area: No perches required! Multiple birds can land and feed at the same time, reducing territorial "squabbles" in your yard.

• Freshness First: Because of its smaller size, the seed is cycled through quickly. This is a huge advantage in Michigan’s humid climate, as it prevents expensive Nyjer (thistle) seed from clumping or spoiling.

• Superior Drainage: The open-mesh design allows rainwater to pass straight through, ensuring the seed stays dry and palatable for your backyard visitors.

• Tough & Tiny: Features a durable metal mesh and UV-stabilized powder-coated yellow finish that won't fade or peel under the intense July sun.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Apartment-Friendly: If you live in a condo or apartment with a small balcony, the CBL38194 is the perfect size to hang from a railing or a small bracket without taking up too much room.

• The "Nyjer" Specialist: Only use Nyjer (Thistle) seed or fine sunflower hearts in this feeder. Standard bird seed is too large for the mesh and will cause clogs.

• Seed Maintenance: Every few days, give the feeder a gentle shake to move the seed around. This ensures the birds always have access to the freshest bits at the edge of the screen.

Specifications

• SKU / Code: CBL38194

• UPC: 617313381940

• Capacity: 0.5 lbs of Seed

• Material: Metal Mesh with Yellow Powder-Coated Finish

• Target Species: American Goldfinches, Pine Siskins, House Finches

When the peak of the Michigan hummingbird season hits in July and August, you need a feeder that can keep up with the crowd. The Classic Brands Garnet Glass Hummingbird Feeder (CBL36) is a heavy-duty, high-capacity station designed specifically for those "busy" yards where multiple Ruby-throated Hummingbirds compete for a spot.

The deep red "Garnet" glass reservoir isn't just a beautiful addition to your patio; it serves as a powerful visual attractant. Because the glass itself provides the necessary red color to catch a bird's eye, you can safely use clear, dye-free nectar. With seven feeding ports, this feeder minimizes "territorial guarding" by giving more birds a place to perch and drink at once.

Why You’ll Love It

• High-Capacity Station: The 20oz reservoir means fewer trips to the kitchen for refills during the height of the Great Lakes summer.

• Seven Feeding Ports: Most feeders only offer 3 or 4 ports; the CBL36 nearly doubles that, allowing a whole family of hummingbirds to feed simultaneously.

• Durable Garnet Glass: Thick, high-quality glass provides a vintage look that won't fade or degrade in the intense Michigan sun.

• Easy-to-Clean Base: The base comes apart easily, allowing you to scrub every nook and cranny to keep your nectar fresh and safe for your visitors.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Beat the "Bully" Bird: Hummingbirds can be notoriously territorial. If you have one "bully" bird chasing others away from this 7-port feeder, try hanging a second, smaller feeder (like a 6oz Mason jar style) on the opposite side of your house out of its sight.

• Shade is Your Friend: While the CBL36 glass is tough, hanging it in a spot with afternoon shade will keep the 20oz of nectar from heating up too much, which helps prevent fermentation during a humid Michigan "heat dome" event.

• Spring Arrival: Get this feeder hung by the first week of May in Southern Michigan. Those early arrivals are hungry and looking for a reliable, high-volume source of energy.

Specifications

• SKU / Code: CBL36

• UPC: 815562013609

• Capacity: 20 oz Nectar

• Feeding Ports: 7 Flower-Style Ports

• Material: Red Garnet Glass Bottle & Durable Plastic Base

If you're looking to attract the widest variety of Michigan songbirds, the Birds Choice Red Hanging Tray (BNPBCHTRD) is your best bet. This platform-style feeder is the "open floor plan" of the bird world, allowing everything from Northern Cardinals to Blue Jays to land and feed comfortably.

The bold, bright red finish isn't just a style statement—it’s a beacon. In the middle of a gray Michigan winter, this feeder stands out, helping hungry birds find a meal even when the ground is covered in a foot of snow. Made from recycled poly-lumber, it won't rot, peel, or crack, no matter what the "Mitten" throws at it.

Why You’ll Love It

• The "All-Feeder": Whether you're serving black-oil sunflower seeds, peanuts, or fruit slices, this tray handles it all.

• Patented Drainage: Features a removable stainless steel mesh screen. This is a lifesaver during a rainy Michigan spring, as it allows water to drain instantly, keeping your seed dry and preventing mold.

• Eco-Friendly & Rugged: Crafted from recycled milk jugs. It’s heavy enough to stay stable in the wind and tough enough to last a lifetime.

• Effortless Cleaning: When the tray gets messy, just pop the screen out, give it a quick spray with the hose, and you're back in business.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Cardinal Magnet: Red is a high-visibility color for Northern Cardinals. If you want more "Red Birds" in your yard, fill this BNPBCHTRD with black-oil sunflower seeds and hang it near a cedar or pine tree.

• Winter Fruit Bar: During the winter, try putting out some chopped apples or raisins in this tray. It’s a great way to help overwintering Robins or Cedar Waxwings get the sugar they need.

• The Squirrel Diversion: If you have a lot of squirrels, try filling this tray with Safflower seed. The birds love it, but most squirrels find it bitter and will leave your red tray alone.

Specifications

• SKU: BNPBCHTRD

• UPC: 789453009814

• Manufacturer Model: BCHTRD

• Material: Recycled Poly-Lumber (Red)

• Dimensions: 8.5" L x 9" W x 2.25" H

Constructed from recycled poly-lumber (think milk jugs diverted from landfills), it’s guaranteed to never crack, split, or fade—even if we get a classic "Pure Michigan" ice storm. It’s a single-cake capacity feeder designed for ease: just lift the top and slide in your favorite suet.

Why You’ll Love It

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• The Woodpecker Magnet: To attract our big Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, use a high-energy suet cake with peanuts or mealworms.

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.

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.
