Invite the magic of metamorphosis to your backyard with the Birds Choice Yellow Butterfly House (BNPSNPMBFH). Designed specifically to provide shelter for butterflies during summer storms and a safe place to roost at night, this house is a must-have for any Michigan gardener dedicated to pollinator conservation.
The vibrant yellow color isn't just for cheer—it acts as a visual lure for butterflies like the Clouded Sulphur and Eastern Tiger Swallowtail that are naturally attracted to bright blooms. Constructed from heavy-duty recycled poly-lumber, this house will never rot, crack, or fade, ensuring your garden "guests" have a reliable sanctuary for years to come.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Pollinator Protection: Vertical slits are perfectly sized to allow butterflies in while keeping birds and larger predators out.
-
Michigan-Proof Durability: Made from recycled milk jugs, this house stands up to humidity, heavy rain, and the intense UV rays of a Great Lakes summer.
-
Vibrant Yellow Finish: Adds a permanent "sunny" pop of color to your perennial garden, even on cloudy Michigan days.
-
Easy to Mount: This house looks best when mounted on a garden stake or post amongst your milkweed, cone-flowers, and nectar-rich plants.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Gardener
-
Location is Key: Place your BNPSNPMBFH in a sunny area protected from the strong Michigan winds. Butterflies need warmth and a calm environment to feel safe.
-
The "Butterfly Buffet": For the best results, place this house in the center of a butterfly garden. Surround it with native Michigan plants like Common Milkweed, Joe Pye Weed, and Butterfly Bush.
-
Invite Them In: You can encourage butterflies to use the house by placing a few long, slender twigs inside. This gives them a natural place to cling and rest once they enter the slits.

Spring in Michigan is a busy time for our backyard residents. While we're busy raking the yard, the birds are frantically hunting for the perfect materials to build their nurseries. This Birds Choice Cotton Nesting Ball provides them with high-quality, all-natural raw cotton—free from chemicals, dyes, or dangerous yarn tails.
It's a simple, effective, and "nature-approved" way to support your local bird population. Simply hang it from a branch or a hook, and watch as Goldfinches, Titmouse, and Chickadees swoop in to grab beakfuls of soft fluff to line their nests.
Why You’ll Love It
-
The "Goldfinch Magnet": If you love American Goldfinches, this is a must-have. They are famous for waiting until the fluff is available to start their nesting.
-
Ready to Hang: Comes complete with a mesh holder and an attached hanger. No assembly required—just take it out of the package and find a branch.
- Safe & Natural: Contains raw, unprocessed cotton. Unlike dryer lint (which can be toxic due to detergents), this is 100% safe for fragile hatchlings.
- Front Row Science: Hang this near a window for a front-row seat to one of nature's best shows. It’s a great educational tool for the kids to see how resourceful our Michigan birds are.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
Timing is Everything: In the Mitten, you'll want to get this out by late March or early April. While some birds nest early, the Goldfinches will keep using it well into June and July.
-
Keep it Dry: While the cotton can handle a bit of Michigan rain, it stays fluffier and easier for the birds to grab if you hang it under a baffle or a thick evergreen branch.
-
The "After-Show" Benefit: Once the birds empty the ball, don't throw the mesh holder away! You can refill it with bits of dried decorative moss or even short clippings of pet fur (if they haven't had recent flea/tick treatments).

For the bird enthusiast who prefers a modern, "Industrial Chic" look for their backyard, the Birds Choice Bristol Black Hanging Tray (BNPBCHTBB) is the ultimate choice. This platform feeder offers an open, accessible feeding area that appeals to almost every songbird in the Mitten State, from bold Blue Jays to the smallest Nuthatches.
Constructed from heavy-duty recycled poly-lumber, this tray is built to endure the harshest Michigan conditions. It won't absorb water during a November rain, won't crack in a sub-zero January freeze, and won't warp under the July sun. It’s a sustainable, maintenance-free centerpiece for your bird-feeding sanctuary.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Sophisticated Style: The Bristol Black finish provides a clean, neutral aesthetic that looks stunning against green summer foliage or white winter snow.
-
Patented Drainage System: Features a removable stainless steel mesh screen. This allows water to pass straight through, keeping your seed dry and preventing the mold growth often caused by Michigan's humid climate.
-
Versatile Feeding: The open tray design is perfect for serving anything from sunflower seeds and peanuts to fruit slices for Baltimore Orioles.
- Pure Michigan Durable: Made from recycled milk jugs, this feeder is non-porous and incredibly easy to clean, ensuring a healthy environment for your backyard flock.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The "Stable Table": Platform feeders are the favorite choice for Northern Cardinals because they prefer to face forward while eating. Fill this BNPBCHTBB with black-oil sunflower seeds to keep your "Red Birds" happy all winter.
-
Peanut Party: In the fall, use this tray to offer whole in-shell peanuts. You’ll get a front-row seat to Blue Jays and Tufted Titmice "weight-testing" the nuts before flying off with their prize.
-
Easy Maintenance: Between seasons, just pop out the metal screen and give the tray a quick scrub with soapy water. It will look brand new for decades.

If you're looking to attract the widest variety of Michigan songbirds, the Birds Choice Red Hanging Tray (BNPBCHTRD) is your best bet. This platform-style feeder is the "open floor plan" of the bird world, allowing everything from Northern Cardinals to Blue Jays to land and feed comfortably.
The bold, bright red finish isn't just a style statement—it’s a beacon. In the middle of a gray Michigan winter, this feeder stands out, helping hungry birds find a meal even when the ground is covered in a foot of snow. Made from recycled poly-lumber, it won't rot, peel, or crack, no matter what the "Mitten" throws at it.
Why You’ll Love It
-
The "All-Feeder": Whether you're serving black-oil sunflower seeds, peanuts, or fruit slices, this tray handles it all.

-
Eco-Friendly & Rugged: Crafted from recycled milk jugs. It’s heavy enough to stay stable in the wind and tough enough to last a lifetime.
-
Effortless Cleaning: When the tray gets messy, just pop the screen out, give it a quick spray with the hose, and you're back in business.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
Cardinal Magnet: Red is a high-visibility color for Northern Cardinals. If you want more "Red Birds" in your yard, fill this BNPBCHTRD with black-oil sunflower seeds and hang it near a cedar or pine tree.
-
Winter Fruit Bar: During the winter, try putting out some chopped apples or raisins in this tray. It’s a great way to help overwintering Robins or Cedar Waxwings get the sugar they need.
-
The Squirrel Diversion: If you have a lot of squirrels, try filling this tray with Safflower seed. The birds love it, but most squirrels find it bitter and will leave your red tray alone.

For the bird lover who wants their feeding station to blend seamlessly into the Michigan pines and hardwoods, the Birds Choice Sage Green Hanging Tray (BNPBCHTSG) is the ideal choice. This platform-style feeder offers an "open invitation" to all your favorite local birds, from the classic Northern Cardinal to the migrating Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
Constructed from heavy-duty recycled poly-lumber, this tray is designed to handle the "Mitten's" most extreme weather. It won't absorb moisture during a rainy Michigan spring, and it won't crack during a sub-zero January freeze. It’s a sustainable, maintenance-free feeding solution that keeps your backyard looking sharp and your birds coming back for more.
Why You’ll Love It
-
All-Season Durability: Recycled plastic is impervious to rot, mold, and insects—making it much tougher than traditional wood feeders.
- Patented Drainage System: Includes a removable stainless steel mesh screen. This allows snowmelt and rainwater to drain away instantly, keeping your seed fresh and dry.
-
Versatile Feeding: Use it for sunflower seeds, peanuts, fruit, or even mealworms. The flat design accommodates birds of all sizes.
-
Eco-Friendly Construction: Made from diverted landfill plastic (recycled milk jugs), helping to preserve the natural beauty of our Great Lakes state.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The "Stealth" Feeder: The Sage Green color is less likely to startle shy woodland birds. If you're trying to attract Nuthatches or Woodpeckers, hang this BNPBCHTSG near the edge of a wooded area.
-
Winter Buffet: During a heavy Michigan snowstorm, this tray acts as a perfect "landing pad" for birds that struggle with small perches. Keep a clear path to it so you can easily refill it when the temperature drops.
-
Easy Clean-Up: Because the screen is removable, you can quickly pop it out and rinse away hulls and debris, ensuring a healthy environment for your backyard flock.

If you want to see a wide variety of birds—from the vibrant Northern Cardinal to the scrappy Black-capped Chickadee—this Hanging Tray Feeder is the "all-you-can-eat buffet" of the backyard. The open-platform design allows birds of all sizes to land comfortably, and the Navy Peony color provides a beautiful, deep blue accent to your Michigan landscape.
Like the suet feeder, this is made from heavy-duty recycled poly-lumber. It won’t absorb moisture, it won’t harbor bacteria like old wood feeders, and it certainly won't rot during a wet Michigan autumn.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Superior Drainage: Features a patented expanded mesh stainless steel screen bottom. This is huge for us in the Great Lakes; it lets rainwater and melting snow drain right through so your expensive seed stays dry and mold-free.
-
Tougher Than a Yooper: Assembled with stainless steel fasteners and suspended by a durable polyester rope. It’s built to hang through wind, sleet, and everything in between.
-
Easy-Peasy Cleanup: When it gets a bit messy, just spray it down with a hose. The screen is removable, making it the easiest feeder in your yard to keep sanitary.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The "Blue Jay" Defense: If you find the larger Blue Jays or Grackles are clearing this tray out in ten minutes, try filling it specifically with Safflower seed. Most songbirds love it, but squirrels and "bully birds" usually leave it alone.
-
Winter Mealworms: During our cold snaps, Michigan Bluebirds often stick around. Put a handful of dried mealworms in this tray—it’s the best way to help them survive the freeze.
-
Ground Control: This feeder is a "platform," which attracts ground-feeders like Juncos and Mourning Doves. If you have a lot of them, consider hanging this a bit lower to the ground (but still high enough to avoid the neighborhood cats!).

If you love the classic look of a house-style feeder but want something that can handle a Michigan winter without rotting or warping, the Birds Choice Navy Peony Hopper Feeder (BNPBCHFNP) is the perfect upgrade. This 1.5 lb capacity feeder features a charming "Navy Peony" blue roof and base, crafted from heavy-duty recycled poly-lumber.
The hopper design is a favorite for the "Mitten's" backyard birds because it keeps the seed protected inside the house, only dispensing it into the side trays as the birds eat. It’s the ultimate combination of style, sustainability, and functionality for any Michigan bird lover.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Pure Michigan Tough: Unlike wooden feeders that can harbor mold or crack in the freezing lake-effect snow, this recycled plastic is non-porous and guaranteed to never rot or fade.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The "Chickadee Special": Fill this BNPBCHFNP with black-oil sunflower seeds or a high-quality "No-Waste" blend. It’s the perfect size for smaller clinging birds to grab a seed and head to a nearby branch.
-
Winter Wind Protection: Because it has a roof and side walls, the seed stays much drier during those sideways-blowing April rainstorms or January blizzards compared to an open tray.
-
Hanging Height: Hang this feeder about 5 to 6 feet high. This keeps it at eye level for easy viewing and makes it easier for you to reach when it’s time to trudge through the snow for a refill.

If you want to ensure your backyard birds can find a meal even during the heaviest Michigan lake-effect snow, the Birds Choice Red Hopper Feeder (BNPBCHFRD) is your best friend.

-
Black-Oil Sunflower Haven: This feeder is perfect for black-oil sunflower seeds or "No-Waste" mixes. These high-fat seeds are essential for birds trying to maintain body heat during Michigan's sub-zero nights.

When the Baltimore Orioles return to Michigan in early May, you want to be ready with the best seat in the house. The Birds Choice Oriolefest (BNPNP1009) is a high-capacity, 12oz feeder designed specifically for the unique feeding habits of Orioles.
This isn't just a nectar feeder; it’s a full-service buffet. It features four feeding ports for nectar, four deep pits for grape jelly (an Oriole favorite!), and a spiked center rod to hold an orange half. The bright "Oriole Orange" color acts like a neon sign, pulling birds in from the treetops.
Why You’ll Love It
-
All-in-One Design: Serve nectar, jelly, and oranges simultaneously to keep them coming back.
-
Bee & Ant Protection: Includes built-in bee guards and a central ant moat (just add water!) to keep the "uninvited guests" out of the sugar water.

- Easy Cleaning: The top lid pops off easily, and the entire unit is top-rack dishwasher safe—essential for keeping things sanitary during humid Michigan summers.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The "Mother's Day" Rule: In Michigan, try to have your BNPNP1009 filled and hanging by May 1st. Orioles are exhausted from migration and are looking for high-energy snacks immediately.
-
The Jelly Trick: Orioles in the Mitten often prefer grape jelly over nectar early in the season. Fill the small circular pits with jelly to get them hooked on your yard.
-
Orange You Glad: Replace the orange half every couple of days. If it’s a hot Michigan July, check it daily to ensure it hasn't fermented or attracted too many fruit flies.

If you're looking to keep our Michigan feathered friends happy through the bitter winters and humid summers, this Birds Choice Navy Peony Suet Feeder is your new best friend. Dressed in a stunning "Navy Peony" blue that looks sharp against both snow and spring greenery, this feeder is built for folks who want quality without the constant upkeep.
Constructed from recycled poly-lumber (think milk jugs diverted from landfills), it’s guaranteed to never crack, split, or fade—even if we get a classic "Pure Michigan" ice storm. It’s a single-cake capacity feeder designed for ease: just lift the top and slide in your favorite suet.
Why You’ll Love It

Deter the Deer & Raccoons: We know our local "critters" love suet as much as the birds do. Hang this feeder at least 5 feet off the ground and away from low-hanging branches to keep it out of reach for hungry paws.
-
The Woodpecker Magnet: To attract our big Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, use a high-energy suet cake with peanuts or mealworms.
-
Winter Hack: In the dead of January, suet is a literal lifesaver for birds. This recycled material won't freeze your fingers when you're swapping out cakes in the cold!

If the Navy Peony is for the subtle backyard, this Birds Choice Red Suet Feeder is for the Michigander who wants their bird station to stand out! That bold, bright red isn't just for show—it’s a beacon for birds like the Northern Cardinal and various Woodpeckers who are naturally drawn to bright colors in the garden.

If you’re tired of Michigan’s "bushy-tailed bandits" turning your bird feeders into an all-you-can-eat buffet, it’s time to bring out the big guns. The Birds Choice Squirrel Proof Feeder (BNPNP431) is a complete, professional-grade bird feeding station designed to win the war against squirrels once and for all.
This isn't just a feeder; it’s a full system. It includes a high-capacity, heavy-duty metal feeder, a sturdy mounting pole, and a specialized wrap-around baffle that prevents squirrels from climbing up. Built to withstand the weight of hungry grackles and the bite of a Michigan winter, this setup ensures that your premium bird seed actually goes to the birds.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Complete System: No need to hunt for matching parts; you get the feeder, the pole, and the baffle in one box (SKU: BNPNP431).
-
True Squirrel Defense: The baffle creates a physical barrier that squirrels simply can't bypass, saving you money on seed in the long run.
-
Large Seed Capacity: Holds a generous amount of seed, so you aren't out there refilling it every time we get a "Pure Michigan" snow squall.
-
Durable Construction: Made with powder-coated steel that resists rust and withstands the "chew-test" from persistent critters.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The "5-7-9 Rule": To make the BNPNP431 truly squirrel-proof, placement is key. Ensure the feeder is at least 5 feet off the ground, 7 feet away from any trees or fences (to prevent jumping), and that the baffle is high enough so they can't leap over it from the ground.
-
Ice Check: After a typical Michigan ice storm, check the baffle. If it gets a thick coating of ice, a squirrel might get just enough "grip" to scramble up. A quick tap with a broom handle will clear the ice right off.
-
Cardinal Comfort: The sturdy perches on this feeder are perfect for Northern Cardinals, who prefer a stable platform rather than swinging in the wind.

For the Michigan homeowner who wants a sleek, sophisticated look without sacrificing durability, the Birds Choice Bristol Black Suet Feeder (BNPBCSSBB) is the perfect fit. While the birds don't mind the color, this "Bristol Black" finish looks stunning against a snowy Michigan backdrop or a modern farmhouse exterior.
Crafted from recycled poly-lumber made from diverted landfill plastic, this feeder is built for the long haul. It won’t rot like wood, it won’t rust like cheap metal, and it’s heavy enough to stay steady when those 40 mph gusts come whipping off the lake.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Modern Aesthetic: The Bristol Black color offers a clean, neutral look that complements any backyard décor.
-
Michigan-Proof Durability: Guaranteed never to crack, split, or fade. It’s built to handle the "Mitten's" wildest temperature swings.
-
Eco-Friendly Choice: Feel good knowing your feeder is made from recycled milk jugs, keeping our Michigan waterways cleaner.
-
Sanitary Design: Non-porous material makes it incredibly easy to scrub and disinfect, keeping your local chickadees and titmice healthy.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
Heat Absorption: Because it's black, this feeder will absorb a bit more sunlight. In the dead of a Michigan winter, this can actually help keep the suet just soft enough for small birds to peck at easily.
-
The Woodpecker Magnet: To attract the big Pileated or Hairy Woodpeckers, hang this on a sturdy 4x4 post or a thick oak limb. They prefer a stable platform when they're working on a suet cake.
-
Winter Strategy: During a "Polar Vortex," suet is the most efficient way for birds to maintain their body fat. Keep this BNPBCSSBB stocked with high-energy suet to ensure your backyard flock survives the night.
