The Pine Tree Farms Premium Safflower Seed Cake (01481) is a specialized feeding solution designed to solve the common problem of squirrel raids. Safflower seed is often referred to as "the miracle seed" because it has a slightly bitter taste that squirrels and grackles typically dislike, while being a favorite for desirable backyard birds.

This 1.8lb cake is held together with food-grade gelatin to create a solid, long-lasting block. It provides a dense source of fat and protein, making it ideal for year-round feeding. Because it is a seed cake, it is significantly less messy than loose seed, making it perfect for use over patios, decks, or manicured gardens.

Why You’ll Love It

• Natural Squirrel Deterrent: Safflower is widely recognized for its ability to discourage squirrels and nuisance birds like blackbirds and starlings.

• Cardinal Magnet: Northern Cardinals, Grosbeaks, and Finches are particularly fond of safflower seeds.

• No-Waste / Low-Mess: The compressed cake format ensures that seeds stay in the feeder until eaten, preventing the "sorting and scattering" behavior common with loose mixes.

• High-Energy Nutrition: Provides essential calories to support birds during high-stress periods like winter and the nesting season.

Ingredients & Guaranteed Analysis

Ingredients: Safflower Seed, Gelatin.

Guaranteed Analysis:

• Crude Protein: Not Less Than 15.0%

• Crude Fat: Not Less Than 25.0%

• Crude Fiber: Not More Than 30.0%

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Be Patient: If you are switching from a sunflower-based mix to pure safflower, it may take the local birds a few days to adjust to the new menu. Once they find it, your cardinal population will likely increase.

• Feeder Type: While this fits most standard large seed cake feeders, hanging it at least 5 feet off the ground will give birds the best vantage point for safety.

• Mix and Match: If you want to keep feeding other seeds but reduce squirrel activity, try placing a safflower cake in one area and a "hot pepper" mix in another to create multiple squirrel-resistant zones.

The 10" Cardinal Mosaic gazing globe is both attractive and timeless. Will enhance any outdoor setting. 10" globe fits most globe stands, columns, and pedestals.

IDEAL Woodpecker High Energy Suet (6011) is a specialized, nutrient-rich formula designed specifically for the needs of woodpeckers and other clinging birds. Crafted with premium rendered beef fat and a mix of enticing grains, this suet cake provides a concentrated source of energy that mimics the high-protein diet birds naturally seek out in the wild.

This "High Energy" blend is particularly effective during the extreme temperature shifts of the Great Lakes region. Whether it’s providing fuel for spring nesting or helping a Pileated Woodpecker maintain body heat during a January freeze, this 11oz cake is an essential addition to any backyard bird sanctuary.

Why You’ll Love It

• Woodpecker Specific: Formulated with the fats and proteins that attract Downy, Hairy, Red-bellied, and Pileated Woodpeckers.

• Year-Round Energy: Provides a consistent, high-calorie food source regardless of the season or local insect availability.

• Fits Standard Feeders: The 11oz square cake is designed to pop easily into any standard suet cage or tail-prop feeder.

• High Fat Content: With a minimum of 35% crude fat, this cake offers the dense energy birds need to stay active and healthy.

Ingredients & Guaranteed Analysis

Ingredients: Rendered Beef Suet, Cracked Corn, Millet, Peanuts.

Guaranteed Analysis:

• Crude Protein: Not Less Than 4.0%

• Crude Fat: Not Less Than 35.0%

• Crude Fiber: Not More Than 12.0%

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• The "Tail Prop" Advantage: To attract larger woodpeckers like Northern Flickers or Pileated Woodpeckers, use a feeder with an extended board at the bottom. This allows them to "prop" their tail for balance while they feed.

• Starling Resistance: If "bully birds" like Starlings are taking over your feeder, try an upside-down suet feeder. Woodpeckers and Nuthatches can easily cling from below, but Starlings usually cannot.

• Feeding in Heat: In peak summer, place your suet feeder in the shade to keep the cake firm and prevent any dripping during humid afternoons.

Specifications

Pine Tree Farms Year-Round High Energy Suet (6010) is a premium, calorie-dense treat designed to attract a wide variety of insect-eating birds to your feeding station. This suet is crafted using high-quality rendered beef fat, which serves as a critical fuel source for birds with high metabolisms—especially during the cold Michigan winter months when natural insect populations are low.

The "Year-Round" formula is designed to be fed in all seasons. It provides the necessary energy for nesting in the spring, raising young in the summer, and maintaining body heat during the sub-zero Great Lakes winters. Its convenient 11oz size fits all standard suet cages

Why You’ll Love It

• Concentrated Energy: Made with high-quality rendered beef fat to provide a quick and easily digestible source of energy.

• All-Season Formula: Stable enough for summer feeding while providing the high fat content required for winter survival.

• Bird Magnet: Highly attractive to a wide range of Michigan species including Downy Woodpeckers, White-breasted Nuthatches, and Black-capped Chickadees.

• Mess-Free Removal: For the cleanest handling, refrigerate the cake before opening to allow it to slide easily into your feeder without sticking to the wrapper.

Ingredients & Guaranteed Analysis

Ingredients: Rendered Beef Suet, Cracked Corn, Millet, Peanuts.

Guaranteed Analysis:

• Crude Protein: Not Less Than 4.0%

• Crude Fat: Not Less Than 35.0%

• Crude Fiber: Not More Than 12.0%

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Feeder Height: Hang your suet cage approximately five to six feet off the ground. This keeps the suet accessible to birds while making it harder for ground-dwelling pests to reach.

• The Woodpecker "Tail Prop": If you want to attract larger woodpeckers like the Hairy or Northern Flicker, consider using a suet feeder with an extended "tail prop" board at the bottom to give them extra stability.

• Mix it Up: While "High Energy" is a great baseline, try rotating in different flavors like Peanut or Berry to see which local species are most active in your specific neighborhood.

Welcome Michigan’s Tropical Travelers in Vibrant Style!

There’s no surer sign that a Michigan spring has finally arrived than the flash of a Baltimore Oriole in the budding maples. The Audubon WLO1 Classic Oriole Feeder is the ultimate welcome mat for these orange-and-black beauties. Designed as a complete "all-in-one" buffet, this bright orange feeder offers every treat an oriole craves after their long journey from Central America to the Great Lakes.

• The Full Buffet Menu: This feeder doesn't make you choose. It features a 12 oz nectar reservoir with 4 feeding ports, 4 built-in jelly wells for grape jam, and a center spike perfect for half an orange.
• Built-in Ant Defense: We know Michigan summers bring out the ants. This feeder features a built-in center moat—simply fill it with water to create a natural barrier that keeps crawling pests out of your sweet nectar and jelly.
• Mitten-Weather Durable: Constructed from high-impact, UV-stabilized orange plastic, this feeder won't fade in the sun or crack during a sudden May frost.
• Easy-Clean Design: Orioles can be messy eaters! This feeder is top-rack dishwasher safe and comes apart easily, ensuring you can keep it sanitary for your feathered guests all season long.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Tax Day" Target: In Southern Michigan, aim to have this feeder out by April 15th to April 25th. Orioles are "early birds"—if your feeder isn't ready when the first scouts arrive, they might skip your yard for a neighbor's!
• The Spring Energy Boost: When they first arrive in Michigan, orioles are exhausted and crave high-energy sugar. Pro-Tip: Start heavy on the grape jelly and fresh oranges in May. As the weather warms and nesting begins in June, they will transition more toward the nectar and protein-rich insects.
• Beat the Michigan "Bullies": If you find that Gray Catbirds or Robins are hogging the jelly, try hanging this feeder in a more open area. Orioles are bolder and will fly to an exposed feeder, while Catbirds often prefer to stay closer to the cover of thick Michigan shrubs.
• Nectar Recipe: Don't waste money on "orange dyed" nectar. Mix 1 part plain white sugar with 4 parts boiling water. Let it cool completely before filling. The bright orange plastic of the WLO1 is all the "color" you need to catch their eye!.

In Michigan, our backyard critters need serious calories to make it through those long, frozen stretches. This 35 lb. bag of Premium Ear Corn is the gold standard for supplemental feeding. Unlike shelled corn, ear corn provides a natural feeding experience that keeps squirrels busy and entertained, often drawing them away from your expensive bird seed and those fancy Navy Peony feeders!

Sourced from high-quality Midwest crops, these sun-dried ears are packed with the nutrients and fats needed by White-tailed Deer, Eastern Fox Squirrels, and Wild Turkeys.

Why It’s a Michigan Essential

• High-Energy Fuel: Packed with carbohydrates to help wildlife maintain body heat during "Polar Vortex" snaps.

• Natural "Distraction" Feeding: Hanging a few ears on a squirrel chair or feeder is the best way to keep the "furry bandits" from raiding your songbird stations.

• Long-Lasting: Because it's on the cob, it takes animals longer to eat, giving you more "show time" at your viewing window.

• Weather Resistant: These dried ears handle the Michigan humidity and snow better than loose grain, which can clump and mold faster.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Wildlife Enthusiast

• The "Squirrel Diversion": Place your ear corn feeder at least 15–20 feet away from your bird feeders. Squirrels are lazy—if there's an easy ear of corn nearby, they’ll usually leave your sunflower seeds alone.

• Mounting Hack: Don't just toss them on the ground! Use a "squirrel bungee" or a "corn cob chair." It keeps the corn out of the snow and prevents it from being buried during a typical Michigan blizzard.

• Attracting Turkeys: If you’re looking to see some big Toms in your yard, scatter a few ears near the edge of the woods. Turkeys love to "peck" the kernels off the cob.

Specifications

• SKU: BAGEARCORN

• Weight: 35 lbs.

• Type: Whole Ear Corn (On the Cob)

• Target Species: Deer, Squirrels, Turkeys, Chipmunks, and Jays.
• Origin: Proudly Midwest Sourced.

Product Overview

The Ancient Graffiti Golden Copperplated Birdbath (95101) is a magnificent blend of functional backyard utility and premium garden architecture. Hand-forged by skilled artisans, this low-profile basin features a gorgeous golden copperplated surface that beautifully reflects natural sunlight and sky conditions.

The broad, shallow design is explicitly engineered to match the natural bathing preferences of local songbirds. The rolled rim provides a secure, easy-to-grip perching edge for birds of all sizes, allowing them to land comfortably, drink safely, and preen their feathers without slipping into deep water zones.

Why You’ll Love It

• Eye-Catching Metallic Brilliance: The golden-copper plating offers a warm, mirror-like shimmer that instantly captures the attention of both human guests and traveling songbirds.

• Avian-Approved Depth: The gradual slope ensures shallow water levels, mimicking natural puddles to encourage bathing behavior from smaller birds like goldfinches and bluebirds.

• Weather-Resistant Build: Constructed out of iron and finished with a protective exterior-grade sealant to prevent premature tarnish or corrosion.

• Versatile Placement: Can be used as a standalone ground birdbath, integrated into a rock garden layout, or dropped directly into a matching Ancient Graffiti metal ring stand or hanging chain assembly.

Features & Quality

• Material: Solid metal base coated in a premium, highly reflective golden copper finish.

• Edge Design: Smooth, rolled perching rim for optimal avian stability and comfort.

Pro Tips for the Backyard Birder

• Ideal Water Depth: Keep the water level between 1 to 2 inches deep. If the water is too deep, smaller songbirds will avoid stepping into the center of the basin.

• Algae Prevention: Place a small, safe piece of real copper or a solar-powered water fountain inside the bath. Moving water prevents mosquitoes from laying eggs and keeps the water fresh much longer.

• Sun vs. Shade: Positioning your birdbath in a semi-shaded spot helps keep the water cool during hot summer afternoons, reducing the rate of evaporation and limiting bacterial growth.

• Ideal Placement: Position the stake in a semi-shaded area near perennials or low tree canopies. This gives birds a quick escape route to cover if a predator arrives, while the shade helps slow down water evaporation on hot afternoons.

• Add a Water Feature: Placing a small solar fountain or water dripper in the center of the leaf basin creates moving water ripples. The sound and movement of glistening water is highly effective at drawing in traveling migratory birds.

• Winterization: Like all metal garden fixtures holding water, it is best to empty the basin or store the leaf component inside a covered garage during heavy freezing winter months to prevent ice expansion from stressing the weld joints.

• Soil Prep Advice: When selling to customers, remind them to push the ground prongs completely flush into firm soil. Shoving the step-stake into loose mulch or muddy earth can cause the tall pole to lean over time, slowing down the kinetic rotation.
