If you feed birds in Michigan, you know how quickly seed can end up scattered under your feeder. The Quick Clean Bigfoot Tray helps keep your backyard feeding area cleaner while giving birds a comfortable place to perch and eat.

This tray attaches beneath compatible tube feeders and catches falling seed before it reaches the ground. That means less waste, less mess, and fewer unwanted critters visiting your feeding station.

The tray also works as a stable feeding platform, making it easier for birds like cardinals, chickadees, finches, and nuthatches to land and enjoy a meal. In Michigan backyards, that extra landing space can help attract an even wider variety of birds.

And when it’s time to clean, the Quick Clean design makes it easy to remove the tray and keep your feeder fresh and healthy for visiting birds.

Whether you're feeding birds during a snowy Michigan winter or enjoying backyard birdwatching in the summer, the Quick Clean Bigfoot Tray is a simple upgrade that helps keep your feeding station tidy and bird-friendly.

Backyard bird feeding in Michigan can sometimes leave a trail of seed shells and debris underneath your feeder. The Auto Tray Seed Catcher is designed to help solve that problem while making your feeder more comfortable for birds to use.

Built as the perfect companion for Quick-Clean tube feeders with a 2¾-inch diameter, this tray attaches directly to the base of the feeder and catches seeds before they fall to the ground. By collecting loose seed and shells, it helps keep your backyard feeding area cleaner and reduces wasted seed.

The tray also provides an additional landing space that many birds appreciate. Species common in Michigan backyards—like cardinals, chickadees, finches, and nuthatches—often prefer a stable perch while feeding. With a tray in place, birds can comfortably sit and eat rather than cling to feeder ports.

Designed with convenience in mind, the finger hoods allow you to easily access and remove the feeder base when it's time for cleaning. The tray simply snaps onto the Quick-Clean feeder base, requiring no tools or hardware.

Made from durable polycarbonate, the Auto Tray is built to handle changing weather conditions—from warm summer birdwatching days to snowy Michigan winters. It’s a practical upgrade that helps keep your feeding station tidy while giving birds a better place to feed.

Hummingbirds are one of the most exciting backyard visitors during the warmer months in Michigan. Keeping nectar fresh and protected can make a big difference in attracting these fast-moving little birds. The HummBella Dome is designed to help protect hummingbird feeders from both sun and rain, creating a better feeding environment for your backyard hummingbirds.

This 10-inch red-tinted weather dome sits directly above your hummingbird feeder and acts as a protective shield. The tinted plastic helps block direct sunlight, which slows the evaporation process and helps nectar last longer during warm summer days. By providing shade, it also helps keep nectar fresher and more appealing for visiting hummingbirds.

The dome also helps protect nectar during rainy weather. By preventing rain from entering the feeder, it helps keep nectar from becoming diluted during sudden summer storms—a common occurrence in Michigan’s changing weather.

Designed for convenience, the dome can easily be removed whenever you need to clean or refill your feeder. This makes regular maintenance quick and simple, which is important for keeping hummingbirds healthy.

The HummBella Dome is compatible with several popular hummingbird feeders, including HighView and Classic HummZinger feeders such as the Mini, Ultra, and Excel models. Built from durable plastic and made in the USA, it’s a simple but effective accessory for anyone serious about backyard hummingbird feeding.

Whether you're watching hummingbirds hover on a sunny Michigan morning or during a light summer rain, the HummBella Dome helps protect your feeder and keep nectar fresh longer.

The bright red dome does more than protect the feeder. Hummingbirds are naturally attracted to the color red, so the dome can help draw hummingbirds from a distance and guide them toward your feeder.

The tinted dome also helps reduce direct sunlight on the feeder, which slows nectar evaporation and helps nectar stay fresh longer during warm summer days. The dome can be easily removed whenever you need to refill or clean your feeder, making regular maintenance simple and convenient.

🧤 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.

A Compact Powerhouse for Michigan’s Acrobatic Sunflower Lovers!

Inspired by the copper-rich history of our own Upper Peninsula, the Woodlink 24512 COPSUNMINI is the perfect "cling-style" feeder for birders who want to see their backyard friends up close. This rugged, all-steel station is designed specifically for Black Oil Sunflower seeds, the #1 choice for Michigan’s year-round residents like the Northern Cardinal and Black-capped Chickadee.

• Acrobatic Cling Feeding: The 1/4" steel mesh is perfectly spaced to hold sunflower seeds while allowing birds to cling anywhere on the surface. This invites acrobatic specialists like Goldfinches, Nuthatches, and Titmice to dine from any angle, giving you a front-row seat to their playful antics.
• Built for the Great Lakes: Constructed with a rust-resistant aluminum brushed copper finish on the cap and base, this feeder is built to handle everything from Michigan's humid summer mornings to our salt-heavy winter air.
• The "Stay-Dry" Design: Featuring open drainage holes around the bottom tray, this feeder ensures that even after a sudden Mackinac rain shower, your seed remains dry and fresh.
• Easy Refills: The metal roof slides easily up the heavy-duty hanging cable for quick filling and cleaning. Its compact 0.5 lb capacity makes it an ideal starter feeder or a secondary station for smaller patios and balconies. 

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Sunflower Secret": Michigan birds are obsessed with Black Oil Sunflower seeds. They have thinner shells and higher oil content than striped varieties, providing the essential energy boost our local Cardinals and Chickadees need to survive a 10°F night.
• Goldfinch "Petal" Behavior: In late summer, you might see Michigan Goldfinches tearing petals off your garden sunflowers before they even go to seed. Pro-Tip: Hang this feeder nearby to give them a "ready-to-eat" alternative while your garden flowers finish maturing!
• Winter De-Icing: During a classic Michigan ice storm, the mesh can glaze over. Because this model is heavy-duty steel, you can safely give it a firm tap with a wooden spoon to break the ice and free up the seeds for your hungry winter residents.
• Chickadee "Grab & Go": Watch your local Black-capped Chickadees—they will often grab a single seed from the mesh and fly to a nearby maple or oak to shell it in the safety of the branches.

If you grow fruits, vegetables, or berries in your Michigan backyard, you’ve probably noticed that birds sometimes arrive right when your harvest is ready. The Holographic Bird Scare Tape is a simple and humane way to help protect your garden while keeping birds safe.

This reflective tape works by flashing bright holographic reflections when sunlight hits it and the wind moves it. The constantly shifting light patterns create visual flashes that birds find unsettling, helping to discourage them from landing in protected areas.

The tape measures 3/4 inch wide and 100 feet long, giving you plenty of material to protect multiple areas of your yard. Its silver surface with moving holographic patterns catches sunlight and creates flashing reflections that help keep birds away from fruit trees, berry bushes, and grapevines.

Simply cut the tape into strips and tie them to tree branches, trellises, garden stakes, fences, or railings. As the strips move in the wind, they produce constant motion and reflective flashes that help deter birds naturally.

Many Michigan gardeners use scare tape throughout the growing season to help protect ripening berries, grapes, tomatoes, and orchard fruit without using chemicals or traps. It’s an easy, low-maintenance way to reduce crop damage while maintaining a bird-friendly backyard environment.

If birds are helping themselves to your garden, fruit trees, or berry bushes, the Guard’N Eyes Reflective Bird Deterrent Balloon offers a simple and humane way to help protect your outdoor spaces. Designed to mimic the appearance of predator eyes, this bird-scaring balloon creates a visual signal that encourages nuisance birds to stay away.
