Tired of squirrels hoarding your bird food? The Spicy Woodpecker Small Seed Cake (9780) is a strategic "deterrent-first" feeding solution. While birds have no capsaicin receptors and are completely unaffected by the heat, mammals like squirrels and raccoons find the spicy kick highly unpleasant and will quickly learn to stay away from your feeders.

This 9.05oz cake is packed with a premium, high-energy mix of sunflower hearts, peanuts, and corn—the exact fats and proteins needed by Michigan’s woodpeckers, chickadees, and nuthatches. It’s a clean, mess-free alternative to traditional suet that won't melt or go rancid during the humid Great Lakes summer heat.

Why You’ll Love It

• Natural Squirrel Deterrent: The hot pepper infusion is a safe, non-toxic way to "squirrel-proof" your feeding station without the need for expensive cages.

• No-Waste Formula: Every ingredient in this cake is 100% edible. There are no hulls or fillers to sweep up from your patio, deck, or garden.

• Woodpecker Magnet: Specially formulated with the nut-heavy ingredients that attract Northern Flickers and Pileated Woodpeckers to Michigan backyards.

• Weather Resistant: Held together with a high-quality gelatin that won't melt in 90°F July weather or crumble in the freezing winter wind.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Safe Handling: Because this product contains real red chili pepper, always wash your hands thoroughly after handling the cakes (or wear gloves) to avoid getting the "spice" in your eyes.

• The "Taste Test": It may take one or two nibbles for a persistent squirrel to realize the heat is too much for them. Once they learn, they typically move on to a different yard.

• Winter Energy: Woodpeckers are year-round residents in the Great Lakes region. Providing a spicy, high-fat snack in January helps them maintain the body heat necessary to survive sub-zero nights.

The Classic Brands Large Lantern Plastic Hopper Feeder (CBL108) is a workhorse for any Michigan backyard bird sanctuary. Designed with a charming lantern silhouette, this feeder combines high-capacity storage with functional weather protection. The hunter green finish blends perfectly into the white pines and maples of a Great Lakes landscape, making it a subtle yet effective addition to your yard.

With a generous 3.8lb capacity, the CBL108 is built for the bird lover who wants to spend more time watching and less time refilling. The hopper-style design gravity-feeds seed into the surrounding tray as birds eat, ensuring a constant supply of fresh food for your local Northern Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Tufted Titmice.

Why You’ll Love It

• All-Weather Protection: The wide, overhanging "lantern" roof acts as an umbrella, shielding the seed from Michigan’s sudden spring downpours and heavy winter lake-effect snow.

• Large 3.8lb Reservoir: Perfect for high-traffic feeding stations or for those weekends away at the cottage—you won't have to worry about the birds running out of fuel.

• 360-Degree Feeding Tray: Allows multiple birds to perch and feed from all sides simultaneously, reducing "feeder fights" during busy morning rushes.

• UV-Stabilized Plastic: Built to resist fading and cracking under the intense July sun, ensuring the hunter green color stays vibrant for seasons to come.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Cardinal Comfort: Northern Cardinals prefer to face forward while they eat. The wide tray on this CBL108 provides the perfect stable platform for them to land and linger.

• Seed Choice: Fill this hopper with a high-quality "No-Waste" mix or Black Oil Sunflower seeds. In a Michigan winter, these high-fat options are vital for birds trying to survive sub-zero nights.

• Easy Refill & Clean: The roof lifts off easily for quick filling. For a healthy backyard flock, give the plastic surfaces a quick scrub with a mild soap and water solution once a month to prevent bacteria buildup.

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

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

The Classic Brands Yellow Finch Screen Feeder (CBL38115) is a "must-have" for any Michigan birder who wants to see more American Goldfinches. The vibrant yellow roof and base aren't just for show—they act as a visual signal to our state's "wild canaries," drawing them in to discover the feast within.

Constructed with a high-quality diamond-mesh screen, this feeder allows birds to cling anywhere on the surface. Unlike tube feeders with limited perches, the CBL38115 accommodates a large number of finches at once, making it a high-traffic hub during the peak of the Great Lakes summer and the busy fall migration.

Why You’ll Love It

• 360-Degree Feeding: The all-over mesh design means birds aren't restricted to specific perches. This allows for more birds to feed simultaneously, reducing competition and squabbles.

• Superior Drainage: Because the sides are open mesh, rainwater and melted Michigan snow drain away instantly. This keeps your expensive Nyjer (thistle) seed dry and prevents it from clumping or molding in our humid climate.

• Durable Construction: Features a heavy-duty metal mesh and a UV-stabilized yellow powder-coated finish that won't fade or peel under the intense July sun.

• Easy to Fill: The roof slides up easily along the hanging wire, allowing for quick, mess-free refills of up to 1.5 lbs of seed.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• The "Nyjer" Specialist: This feeder is perfectly calibrated for Nyjer (Thistle) seed or fine sunflower hearts. Using standard wild bird mix will result in the larger seeds getting stuck and the small seeds falling out.

• Goldfinch Magnet: In Michigan, Goldfinches are year-round residents but become most active at feeders in late summer. Place your CBL38115 near a "wild" corner of your yard with coneflowers or sunflowers to create a finch paradise.

• Clean & Shake: Every few days, give the feeder a good shake to loosen any settled seed dust. This ensures the mesh stays clear and the fresh seed continues to flow toward the outside for the birds.

Specifications

• UPC: 617313381155

The Classic Brands Jubilee Hummingbird Feeder (CBL38139) is where timeless "Great Lakes cottage" style meets modern bird-feeding performance. With its striking red glass reservoir featuring a classic hobnail-inspired texture, this feeder isn't just a bird attractant—it’s a decorative centerpiece for your porch or patio.

Holding up to 20oz of nectar, the Jubilee is perfectly sized for the peak of the Michigan summer. The bright red glass provides all the visual "lure" needed to catch a hummingbird’s eye from across the yard, allowing you to use clear, healthy, dye-free nectar while still ensuring high visibility.

Why You’ll Love It

• Antique Hobnail Design: The textured red glass catches the Michigan sun beautifully, adding a touch of elegance to any outdoor setting.

• Four Flower Feeding Ports: Specifically designed to accommodate multiple birds at once while providing a natural feeding experience.

• Durable Glass Construction: Unlike plastic reservoirs that can cloud or crack over time, this high-quality glass bottle is built to last through many seasons of Great Lakes weather.

• Easy Maintenance: The wide-mouth bottle design makes it simple to fill with nectar and even easier to scrub clean with a bottle brush.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• The "Mother's Day" Milestone: In many parts of Michigan, the arrival of hummingbirds coincides with Mother's Day. Have your CBL38139 filled and hanging by early May to catch the first wave of migrants.

• Keep it Cool: To prevent your 20oz of nectar from fermenting during a humid Michigan "Heat Dome," try to hang the Jubilee in a spot that receives morning sun but afternoon shade.

• Visual Anchor: Hang this feeder near red or pink hanging baskets (like Fuchsia or Petunias). The combination of the red glass and real blooms creates an irresistible "target" for passing hummers.

Specifications

• SKU / Code: CBL38139

• UPC: 617313381391

• Capacity: 20 oz Nectar

• Feeding Ports: 4 Integrated Flower Ports

• Material: Textured Red Glass Bottle & Durable Plastic Base

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

If you are looking for a feeder that is as beautiful as the birds it attracts, the Classic Brands Jewel Glass Hummingbird Feeder (CBL76) is a showstopper. The thick, red-tinted glass bottle features a unique textured "jewel" pattern that catches the Michigan sunlight, acting as a natural prism to lure hummingbirds from across the yard.

With a generous 20oz capacity, this feeder is perfect for the peak of the Great Lakes summer when local hummingbird populations are at their highest. The base is designed for both functionality and style, featuring five feeding ports modeled after real flowers to provide a natural dining experience for your backyard "flying jewels."

Why You’ll Love It

• Antique Elegance: The heavy-duty red glass bottle offers a classic look that complements any garden, from modern patios to rustic Michigan cottage landscapes.

• High Visibility: The deep red color of the glass itself is the primary attractant for hummingbirds, meaning you can use clear, dye-free nectar and still draw them in.

• Five Feeding Ports: Provides enough space for multiple birds to feed simultaneously, reducing "territorial squabbles" during the busy nesting season

• Durable Construction: Unlike plastic feeders that can degrade in the sun, this high-quality glass reservoir is built to last for many seasons.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Shade Strategy: While the CBL76 glass is durable, hanging it in a spot that gets morning sun and afternoon shade will help keep the 20oz of nectar from fermenting too quickly during a humid Michigan July.

• Easy Cleaning: To keep your hummingbirds healthy, rinse the glass bottle with a mild vinegar and water solution once a week. The wide-mouth design makes it easy to get a bottle brush inside.

• Ant Prevention: Since glass feeders can be heavy when full, ensure you use a sturdy metal hook or a dedicated bird-feeding pole. Adding an ant moat above this feeder will keep those pesky Michigan sugar ants out of the nectar.

Specifications

• UPC: 815562017607

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• The "Clean & Fill" Routine: During a humid Michigan July, nectar can ferment quickly. Empty and clean your feeders every 2–3 days, then refill with fresh ODSMB707 to keep your birds healthy.

• Red is the Lure, Not the Liquid: Since this nectar is clear, ensure your feeder has red parts (like the base or ports) to attract the birds' attention. They find the feeder by color but keep coming back for the high-quality taste.

• Late Season Support: Don't take your feeders down too early! Keep them filled with this nectar through late September to help migrating hummingbirds fuel up for their long journey south from Michigan.

• Pure Michigan Durable: Made from recycled milk jugs, this feeder is non-porous and incredibly easy to clean, ensuring a healthy environment for your backyard flock.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Gardener

• Location is Key: Place your BNPSNPMBFH in a sunny area protected from the strong Michigan winds. Butterflies need warmth and a calm environment to feel safe.

• The "Butterfly Buffet": For the best results, place this house in the center of a butterfly garden. Surround it with native Michigan plants like Common Milkweed, Joe Pye Weed, and Butterfly Bush.

• Invite Them In: You can encourage butterflies to use the house by placing a few long, slender twigs inside. This gives them a natural place to cling and rest once they enter the slits.

Why You’ll Love It

• Eco-Friendly Construction: Made from diverted landfill plastic (recycled milk jugs), helping to preserve the natural beauty of our Great Lakes state.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• The "Stealth" Feeder: The Sage Green color is less likely to startle shy woodland birds. If you're trying to attract Nuthatches or Woodpeckers, hang this BNPBCHTSG near the edge of a wooded area.

• Winter Buffet: During a heavy Michigan snowstorm, this tray acts as a perfect "landing pad" for birds that struggle with small perches. Keep a clear path to it so you can easily refill it when the temperature drops.

If you love the classic look of a house-style feeder but want something that can handle a Michigan winter without rotting or warping, the Birds Choice Navy Peony Hopper Feeder (BNPBCHFNP) is the perfect upgrade. This 1.5 lb capacity feeder features a charming "Navy Peony" blue roof and base, crafted from heavy-duty recycled poly-lumber.

• Eco-Friendly Beauty: Made from recycled milk jugs, this feeder helps protect our Great Lakes environment while looking sharp in your garden.

• Clear Seed Windows: Features clear acrylic side panels so you can see exactly when it’s time for a refill from your kitchen window.

• Easy Maintenance: The roof lifts off for quick filling, and the entire unit can be easily scrubbed clean to keep your Chickadees and Nuthatches healthy.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• The "Chickadee Special": Fill this BNPBCHFNP with black-oil sunflower seeds or a high-quality "No-Waste" blend. It’s the perfect size for smaller clinging birds to grab a seed and head to a nearby branch.

• Winter Wind Protection: Because it has a roof and side walls, the seed stays much drier during those sideways-blowing April rainstorms or January blizzards compared to an open tray.

• Hanging Height: Hang this feeder about 5 to 6 feet high. This keeps it at eye level for easy viewing and makes it easier for you to reach when it’s time to trudge through the snow for a refill.

If you’re tired of Michigan’s "bushy-tailed bandits" turning your bird feeders into an all-you-can-eat buffet, it’s time to bring out the big guns. The Birds Choice Squirrel Proof Feeder (BNPNP431) is a complete, professional-grade bird feeding station designed to win the war against squirrels once and for all.

This isn't just a feeder; it’s a full system. It includes a high-capacity, heavy-duty metal feeder, a sturdy mounting pole, and a specialized wrap-around baffle that prevents squirrels from climbing up. Built to withstand the weight of hungry grackles and the bite of a Michigan winter, this setup ensures that your premium bird seed actually goes to the birds.

Why You’ll Love It

• Complete System: No need to hunt for matching parts; you get the feeder, the pole, and the baffle in one box (SKU: BNPNP431).

• True Squirrel Defense: The baffle creates a physical barrier that squirrels simply can't bypass, saving you money on seed in the long run.

• Large Seed Capacity: Holds a generous amount of seed, so you aren't out there refilling it every time we get a "Pure Michigan" snow squall.

• Durable Construction: Made with powder-coated steel that resists rust and withstands the "chew-test" from persistent critters.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• The "5-7-9 Rule": To make the BNPNP431 truly squirrel-proof, placement is key. Ensure the feeder is at least 5 feet off the ground, 7 feet away from any trees or fences (to prevent jumping), and that the baffle is high enough so they can't leap over it from the ground.

• Ice Check: After a typical Michigan ice storm, check the baffle. If it gets a thick coating of ice, a squirrel might get just enough "grip" to scramble up. A quick tap with a broom handle will clear the ice right off.

• Cardinal Comfort: The sturdy perches on this feeder are perfect for Northern Cardinals, who prefer a stable platform rather than swinging in the wind.
