Woodlink 25350/AV1MNP Heavy Duty Caged Mixed Seed Feeder

The Ultimate Defensive Fortress for Your Michigan Bird Sanctuary!

In Michigan, we don't just feed the birds; we defend their buffet. The Audubon AV1MNP Heavy Duty Caged Feeder is a fortress built for the Mitten State’s most dedicated birders. With a staggering 18 lb capacity, this is one of the largest caged feeders on the market, ensuring that even during the busiest migratory waves, your birds have a reliable place to dine.

• Massive 18 lb Seed Reservoir: Spend more time watching and less time trudging through the snow. This jumbo hopper holds enough seed to last through a long Michigan winter weekend, reducing the need for constant refills.
• Tactical Cage Design: The heavy-duty metal cage is specifically spaced to allow colorful songbirds like Goldfinches, Chickadees, and Nuthatches in, while keeping out squirrels and aggressive "bully" birds like Blue Jays and Grackles.
• Rugged Construction: Built with a powder-coated metal top and base combined with tough recycled plastic, this feeder won't crack in a -20°F wind chill or yellow in the humid July sun.
• EZ-Open Maintenance: Despite its size, cleaning is a breeze thanks to the EZ-open base design, ensuring your Michigan flock stays healthy and the feeder stays sanitary.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Lake-Effect" Anchor: When fully loaded with 18 lbs of seed, this feeder weighs over 25 lbs. Do not hang this from a standard branch or a thin decorative hook. We strongly recommend a heavy-duty 4x4 post mount or a high-capacity steel pole system anchored deep into the ground.
• Safflower Strategy: If you find that the local squirrels are still trying to chew through the cage, fill this feeder with Safflower seed. Michigan squirrels generally dislike the bitter taste, but our Northern Cardinals and Chickadees love it!
• Winter De-Icing: Our freezing rains can glaze over the cage openings. Because this model is built with heavy-duty metal, you can safely give it a firm tap with a wooden mallet to break the ice and allow your birds access.
• Spring Humidity Defense: With 18 lbs of seed, moisture is the enemy. Every few days, give the feeder a quick shake to rotate the seed and ensure the internal baffle is keeping the flow moving toward the ports to prevent clumping in our damp Michigan springs.
