Brushed Copper Mini Nyjer Screen Feeder 24513/COPTMINI

Compact, Classy, and Built for Michigan’s Clinging Songbirds!
Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Keweenaw Peninsula, the COPTMINI Brushed Copper Mini Feeder is the perfect choice for Michigan birders who want to attract finches without the bulk of a full-sized tube. This small-but-mighty feeder is a favorite at Backyard Birds because it forces birds to "cling" to the mesh, providing you with fantastic views of their acrobatic feeding habits. 

Cling-Style Mesh Design: The fine steel mesh is specifically sized for Nyjer (thistle) seed. Because there are no traditional perches, you’ll attract acrobatic specialists like American Goldfinches and Pine Siskins while discouraging "bully birds" that prefer a flat place to sit.

• Michigan-Ready Finish: The rust-resistant aluminum copper finish isn't just for looks—it’s designed to handle our salty lake air and damp spring mornings without corroding.
• Small Footprint, Big Impact: Holding 0.5 lbs of seed, it’s the ideal "starter" feeder or secondary station for a small patio or balcony.
• Easy-Slide Maintenance: The metal roof slides up the hanging cable for quick refills. Built-in drainage holes at the base ensure your seed stays dry through a sudden Mackinac rain shower. 

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Goldfinch Magnet": In Michigan, goldfinches are particularly fond of screen feeders because they can feed upside down or sideways—something they naturally do on wildflowers like wild bergamot or coneflowers.
• Humidity Watch: Because screen feeders expose the seed to the air more than plastic tubes, Michigan's humidity can sometimes cause seed to stick. Pro-Tip: Only fill this "Mini" feeder halfway during our humid August dog days to ensure the seed stays fresh and doesn't clump.
• Winter De-Icing: During a classic Michigan ice storm, the mesh can sometimes glaze over. A quick tap with a wooden spoon will break the ice and free up the seed for your winter residents like the Common Redpoll.
• Chickadee Bonus: While designed for finches, our local Black-capped Chickadees are expert clingers and will often visit this feeder for a quick high-energy snack during a cold snap.
