Brushed Copper 6 Port Nyjer Finch Feeder 24562/COP6F

• Built Michigan-Rugged: The UV-stabilized polycarbonate tube won't yellow in the summer sun or become brittle during a -10°F February wind chill. The rust-resistant copper-finished metal hardware is built to handle our humid lake-effect air without corroding.
• The "Stay-Dry" Reservoir: Holds approximately 1 lb of Nyjer (thistle) seed. The snug-fitting metal lid keeps out Michigan’s sudden rain showers and heavy snow, ensuring your expensive seed stays fresh and flowable.
• Easy Maintenance: The lid slides up the heavy-duty hanging wire for effortless refilling. The clear tube allows you to monitor seed levels from your kitchen window, so you know exactly when it’s time for a top-off.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Goldfinch Glow": Michigan’s American Goldfinches are highly visual. The shimmer of the brushed copper acts as a natural attractant, catching the sunlight and signaling to passing flocks that your yard is a premium feeding station.
• Beat the Humidity Clump: Our Great Lakes humidity can make tiny thistle seeds "stick" together. Pro-Tip: Every time you walk past, give the feeder a firm "Michigan tap" on the side. This keeps the seed loose and ensures it flows smoothly to the bottom ports.
• Winter Redpoll Rareness: Keep your eyes peeled in January and February! During "irruption" years, Common Redpolls migrate down from Canada into Michigan. They love these 6-port metal feeders because they prefer feeding in small, social groups.
• Hygiene is Key: To protect our local finches from eye infections (Mycoplasmal conjunctivitis), which can spread during our damp Michigan springs, we recommend a quick scrub with a 9:1 water-to-bleach solution every two weeks.
