10-inch diameter tray is the perfect companion for your tube feeders, offering a blend of elegance and extreme durability. Not only does it catch seed that birds accidentally drop, but it also provides more perching area, inviting larger, colorful birds—like our Michigan Cardinals and Grosbeaks—to dine comfortably at a tube feeder.
Patented, Ingenious Design
True to the Aspects mission of simplicity, this tray features an ingenious, patented design. It attaches to your feeder simply and quickly—no complex hardware required! It simply screws into the base of the feeder and comes with a decorative finial included for a polished, high-end look.
Why Every Michigan Backyard Needs One:
-
Unbreakable Polycarbonate: Made of heavy-duty, UV-stabilized polycarbonate that is practically indestructible. It won't yellow in the summer or crack during a deep Michigan freeze.
-
Universal Fit: This 10-inch tray fits all Aspects' tube feeders, making it the most versatile accessory in your birding kit.
-
Saves Money: Catches "discarded" seed before it hits the ground, preventing waste and reducing the mess under your feeder.
-
All-Weather Drainage: Built-in drainage holes ensure that rainwater doesn't collect, keeping the caught seed dry and fresh.
Backyard Birds Pro-Tips:
-
Cardinal Favorite: If you find your Cardinals are hovering but not landing, add this tray! The extra perching surface gives them the stability they need to feel secure while feeding.
-
Cleaning is a Breeze: Because it unscrews so easily, we recommend giving it a quick rinse every time you refill your feeder to keep the drainage holes clear of debris.

If you’ve ever wanted to see the intricate detail of a Northern Cardinal's feathers or the tiny face of a Black-capped Chickadee, the Aspects The Window Cafe (ASP155) is your ticket to a front-row seat. This sleek, "cafe" style feeder mounts directly to your window pane using three extra-strength suction cups, turning any room in your home into a bird-watching blind.
Made in the USA from heavy-duty, UV-stabilized polycarbonate, this feeder is built to stay clear and crack-free through Michigan's sweltering summers and sub-zero winters. Its hopper-style design protects the seed from the elements, while the overhanging roof keeps your backyard visitors dry during a passing spring shower.
Why You’ll Love It
-
High-Definition Viewing: The crystal-clear reservoir allows for unobstructed views, making it the perfect feeder for kids, cats, or bird photographers.
-
Easy to Refill: You don't even have to remove the feeder from the window. The seed hopper simply slides out of the mounting bracket for quick refills at the sink or door.
-
Superior Suction: Includes three large, professional-grade suction cups that stay secure even during high winds or heavy rain.
- Durable & Clear: Unlike cheap plastic feeders that yellow and become brittle, the ASP155 is UV-stabilized to remain transparent for years.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
Window Placement: For the best results in a Michigan home, place the feeder on a window that doesn't get high-traffic movement inside (like a quiet office or dining room). This helps the birds feel safe enough to land just inches from you.
-
Winter Maintenance: Before the first Michigan "Big Freeze," make sure your window glass is perfectly clean and dry before attaching the suction cups. This ensures the strongest possible bond for the winter months.
-
Avoid Window Strikes: If birds are hitting the glass near the feeder, try moving the ASP155 to a different spot on the pane. Because the feeder is attached directly to the glass, birds approaching it will slow down, actually reducing the risk of high-speed window collisions.

Protect your birds from Michigan's unpredictable weather!
The Aspects 182 Super Dome is the ultimate heavy-duty shield for your backyard feeding station. This massive 18-inch diameter baffle provides a dual-threat defense: it keeps squirrels from raiding your feeders from above and acts as a giant umbrella to keep seed bone-dry during heavy rain or a classic Great Lakes snowstorm.
Crafted from crystal-clear, UV-stabilized polycarbonate, this dome offers a front-row seat to the action while remaining virtually indestructible. Its smooth, slippery surface ensures that even the most determined squirrels slide right off before they can reach the snacks below.
Product Specifications:
- Dimensions: 18" Diameter x 6" Height.
- Weight: Approximately 2.34 lbs.
- Material: High-impact, UV-stabilized polycarbonate (won't yellow or crack over time).
- Hardware: Includes solid stainless steel top and bottom hooks for easy hanging.
- Compatibility: Universal fit for any small to medium hanging bird feeder or birdhouse.
- Manufacturing: Proudly Made in the USA.
- Warranty: Aspects Lifetime Guarantee.
- The "Cardinal Cover": Many Michigan songbirds, like the Northern Cardinal, dislike getting wet. Adding this dome creates a dry "micro-climate" that encourages birds to stay and feed longer during light rain.
- Strategic Hanging: For maximum effectiveness, ensure the dome is hung at least 10 feet away from trees or porch railings. This prevents squirrels from leaping sideways under the dome to reach the feeder.
- Winter Maintenance: If we get a heavy ice storm, a quick tap to clear the dome will keep it lightweight and effective. Because it is polycarbonate, it won't crack in freezing temperatures.
- Visibility Check: The dome is crystal clear to allow for unobstructed viewing, but if you notice birds bumping into it, adding a small window-cling or decal to the top can help them navigate around it safely.
- Dimensions: 12" Diameters: High-impact, UV-stabilized clear polycarbonate (virtually indestructible).
- Hardware: Includes solid stainless steel hooks for secure hanging.
- Compatibility: Ideal for all Aspects Hummingbird feeders, Oriole feeders, and small tube or tray feeders.
- Manufacturing: Proudly Made in the USA.
- Warranty: Aspects Lifetime Guarantee
- Hummingbird Hero: In Michigan, we often get heavy afternoon downpours. This dome prevents rain from entering the ports of saucer-style hummingbird feeders, which stops the nectar from becoming diluted or fermenting too quickly.
- The "Ant Moat" Combo: For the ultimate hummingbird setup, hang an Ant Moat above this Weather Dome. The dome keeps the rain out of the feeder, while the moat keeps the crawling insects away.
- Baffle vs. Weather Guard: While this will discourage some smaller squirrels, its primary job is weather protection. If you have "Olympic" Michigan squirrels, we recommend moving up to the 18" Super Dome (Aspects 182).
- Cleaning Hack: To keep that crystal-clear view, wash the dome with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges to prevent micro-scratches on the polycarbonate.
Backyard bird feeding should be enjoyable in every season—even during rainy or snowy Michigan weather. The Fancy 14" Swirl Dome Bird Feeder Weather Guard helps protect your bird feeder from rain, snow, and wind while adding a decorative touch to your backyard feeding station.
This 14-inch clear dome acts as a protective shield that helps keep bird seed dry and fresh longer. By creating a sheltered feeding space, birds can comfortably enjoy your feeder even during rough weather.
The clear design allows you to continue watching your backyard visitors while the elegant swirl pattern adds a stylish accent to your feeder setup. When adjusted properly, the dome can also help discourage squirrels and larger birds from reaching the feeder below.
Whether you're feeding chickadees in the winter or watching finches and cardinals during warmer months, this dome helps keep your feeding station clean, dry, and inviting year-round.

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.

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.

Hummingbirds are a favorite sight in Michigan backyards every spring and summer. Keeping nectar fresh and protected can make a big difference in attracting these tiny, energetic birds. The HummZinger 12" Red Dome is designed to shield your hummingbird feeder from sun and rain so your nectar stays fresher longer.

Hummingbirds are one of the most exciting visitors to Michigan backyards during the warmer months.

By preventing moisture from entering the feeder, it helps keep nectar from becoming diluted during unexpected weather—something many Michigan bird lovers experience throughout the season.
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.

When the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds make their way back to Michigan in early May, the Birds Choice 12oz Hummerfest (BNPNP1002) is exactly what they are looking for. This feeder is engineered for both the birds' comfort and your viewing pleasure.
The "Hummerfest" features a wrap-around high-perch that allows hummingbirds to sit and rest while they drink, which actually keeps them at the feeder longer for you to enjoy. With six feeding ports and a vibrant red cover that can be seen from across the yard, it's a high-capacity station that can handle multiple birds during the peak of a Michigan summer.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Ant Moat Security: Features a built-in center well for water. By keeping this filled, you create a physical barrier that prevents ants from reaching the sweet nectar.
-
Easy to Clean & Fill: The lid pops off easily, and the bowl is wide-mouthed and shallow, making it a breeze to scrub. It is also top-rack dishwasher safe.
-
Leak-Proof Design: Because it is a "basin" style feeder rather than a vacuum-bottle style, it won't drip even when those heavy Michigan summer thunderstorms roll through.
-
BPA-Free Polycarbonate: Made from UV-stabilized, high-impact plastic that won't yellow or crack under the hot July sun.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The "Tax Day" Reminder: In Southern Michigan, aim to have your BNPNP1002 hanging and filled by mid-April. The "scouts" arrive early, and if they find your feeder first, they’ll bring the whole family back.
-
Nectar Recipe: Skip the red dye! It’s bad for the birds. Just mix 4 parts water to 1 part white granulated sugar. Boil it, let it cool, and fill your Hummerfest.
-
Shade is Best: During a Michigan "heat dome" event, try to hang the feeder in a spot that gets afternoon shade. This prevents the nectar from fermenting too quickly.

In Michigan, seeing that flash of royal blue in early spring is a sign that warmer days are coming. The Birds Choice Bluebird Feeder (BNPSNBBF) is specifically designed to cater to our Eastern Bluebirds. Made from high-quality recycled poly-lumber, this feeder is a sturdy, eco-friendly fortress that won't rot, peel, or fade, even after years of exposure to the Great Lakes' unpredictable weather.
The genius of this design is the 1.5-inch entrance holes on each end. These are perfectly sized for Bluebirds but too small for larger, aggressive birds like Starlings or Blue Jays. It gives your bluebirds a safe, private dining room where they can eat in peace.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Exclusive Access: The entrance holes act as a natural "bouncer," ensuring your expensive mealworms go to the Bluebirds and not the neighborhood squirrels or Grackles.
-
Easy Viewing: Features clear acrylic side panels so you can easily monitor food levels and enjoy a clear view of the birds while they eat.
-
Built Michigan-Tough: The tan and blue recycled plastic is heavy-duty and stays looking brand new through blizzards and thunderstorms.
-
Simple Cleanup: The clear panels slide out for easy cleaning, ensuring a sanitary environment for your feathered friends.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The Bluebird "Dinner Bell": Bluebirds love mealworms! To get them started with the BNPSNBBF, place a few mealworms on the outside "porch" of the feeder. Once they find the source, they'll learn to hop inside.
-
Spring Arrival: Get this feeder out by late March. Michigan Bluebirds are early arrivals and will be scouting for reliable food sources as they claim their nesting territories.
-
Mounting Advice: Bluebirds prefer open spaces. Mount this on a pole about 5 feet off the ground in a clear area of your yard so they can scan for predators while they feed.

Helping our Eastern Bluebirds find a safe nesting spot is a Michigan spring tradition. The Birds Choice Bluebird House (BNPBCBBHSG) in Sage Green is the "gold standard" for backyard conservation. Unlike cedar houses that can weather and crack over time, this house is made from heavy-duty recycled poly-lumber. It is built to survive everything from a late April snowstorm to the humid dog days of August without ever warping or rotting.
The earthy Sage Green color is more than just a style choice; it helps the house blend into our Michigan landscapes, providing a more "natural" look while offering the absolute best in modern protection for growing hatchlings.
Why You’ll Love It
-
The Perfect Entrance: Features a precise 1.5-inch entry hole, specifically sized to allow Eastern Bluebirds in while keeping larger, aggressive European Starlings out.
-
Maintenance-Free Construction: Since it’s made from recycled milk jugs, it doesn't absorb moisture or harbor bacteria. It’s the last bluebird house you’ll ever need to buy.
-
Easy Clean-Out: The side-opening door allows for a quick "Pure Michigan" spring cleaning between broods. Just pop it open, remove the old nest, and it’s ready for the next family.
-
Superior Insulation: Recycled plastic is naturally insulating, helping to keep baby birds warm during chilly Michigan nights and cool during the peak of summer.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
Location, Location, Location: Bluebirds are fans of the "open view." Mount your BNPBCBBHSG on a pole in an open area of your yard, facing a nearby tree or shrub (about 10–15 feet away) so the fledglings have a safe place to land on their first flight.
-
Beat the House Sparrow: If you find House Sparrows trying to take over, move the house further away from human buildings. Bluebirds are much more likely to use a house placed in the middle of a backyard or near a field.
-
The Early Bird: In Michigan, bluebirds start "house hunting" as early as late February or March. Get your house mounted before the ground thaws to ensure you're the first choice on their list!
