• Full Visibility: The crystal-clear design offers an unobstructed view of the birds from your window, making it easy to capture that perfect photo of a vibrant bluebird mid-meal. 
  
  
  
  

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Mealworm Training" Trick: Michigan bluebirds are creatures of habit. To get them started, place the feeder in an open area of your yard and leave the dome raised high for a few days. Once they recognize the mealworms as a reliable food source, you can lower the dome to keep the Starlings out.
• Winter Survival Strategy: While many bluebirds migrate, some stay in Michigan year-round. During a deep freeze, they need massive amounts of fat to stay warm. Pro-Tip: Mix your mealworms with suet nuggets or sunflower hearts to give them a high-calorie "energy boost" during a January cold snap.
• The Spring Calcium Boost: In late April and May, Michigan's female bluebirds need extra calcium for egg production. Sprinkle some crushed, baked eggshells into the mealworm tray to help them raise a strong, healthy brood.
• Hydration Matters: Bluebirds are famous for their love of water. Pair this feeder with a heated birdbath or the Audubon 32 oz Glass Waterer to make your yard an irresistible sanctuary for the whole season.

If you enjoy attracting colorful birds to your Michigan backyard, BirdBerry Jelly is one of the easiest and most effective treats you can offer. Many fruit-loving birds are naturally drawn to sweet jelly, especially during the warmer months when they are searching for energy-rich foods.

This 20-ounce jar of BirdBerry Jelly features a unique grape and blackberry blend designed to attract Baltimore Orioles, woodpeckers, catbirds, and other fruit-loving birds. The rich fruit flavor makes it especially appealing to orioles, which are known to visit jelly feeders frequently once they discover them.

BirdBerry Jelly is made with all-natural ingredients and contains no preservatives or corn sweeteners, making it a cleaner food option for backyard birds. Simply place a small portion in a jelly feeder or an oriole feeder and enjoy watching birds return throughout the day.

Many Michigan bird enthusiasts like to pair jelly with orange halves or nectar feeders, creating a feeding station that orioles and other birds find hard to resist.

For best freshness, refrigerate after opening and refill feeders regularly to keep the jelly fresh for visiting birds.

Whether you're hoping to attract bright orioles during spring migration or add more variety to your backyard bird feeding setup, BirdBerry Jelly is a simple way to bring more colorful birds into your yard.

Pro Tips from Backyard Birds in Michigan

• Orioles typically return to Michigan during spring migration, often in April or May.
• Offering grape jelly and orange halves is one of the easiest ways to attract them.
• Place feeders in open areas near trees where orioles feel comfortable landing.
• Once orioles find a reliable feeder, they often return throughout the season.

• Territorial Dining: Since hummingbirds are famously territorial, the 12 oz capacity is the "sweet spot" for a single feeder; it holds enough nectar to satisfy several visitors without the liquid spoiling before it can be finished.
• Up-Close Observation: The clear reservoir is a bird-watcher's best friend, allowing you to monitor nectar levels at a glance so you never miss a chance to refill and keep your local residents happy.

• Pest-Free Feeding: The integrated ant moat—when filled with water—acts as a natural barrier to "marauding ants," ensuring the nectar stays clean and pure for the birds.
• Modular Versatility: A unique feature of this WoodLink series is the ability to thread multiple units together, creating a stacked tower of feeders to accommodate more birds during peak activity in late summer.
• Hygienic Habitats: Keeping a clean feeder is essential for bird health. The base easily unscrews for a thorough scrub, and the unit is often top-shelf dishwasher safe, helping you maintain a healthy environment for your backyard guests.

Give Michigan’s House Wrens a Charming "Up North" Cabin of Their Own!

Add a touch of vintage farmhouse style to your garden with the Woodlink 24232 Rustic Wren House. Part of our popular "Rustic Farmhouse" collection, this hanging nest box features a beautiful weathered wood finish and a rugged corrugated metal roof that looks like it belongs in the heart of the Keweenaw Peninsula.

• Tailor-Made for Wrens: The 1-1/8 inch entry hole is perfectly sized to welcome House Wrens while physically blocking larger "bully" birds and predators from entering.
• Built for Mitten Weather: The pitched metal roof overhangs the entrance to protect the nest from heavy Michigan rain and lake-effect snow. Solid wood construction underneath the metal roof provides natural insulation to keep nestlings warm during our chilly spring nights.
• Superior Ventilation: Designed with built-in air gaps to ensure your baby birds stay cool during those humid July afternoons in the Great Lakes State.
• Easy Clean-Out: Features a fully removable bottom panel or side access (depending on model year) for effortless end-of-season cleaning.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Mother’s Day" Arrival: In Michigan, House Wrens typically return from their southern migration in late April or early May. Pro-Tip: Hang this house by April 20th to ensure it's ready when the males arrive to stake out their nesting territory.
• Location, Location, Location: Wrens love edges! For the best success, hang your Rustic House 6–10 feet high near the edge of a wooded area or a thick Michigan shrub row. This gives them a quick "escape route" into the brush if a hawk or outdoor cat wanders by.
• The "No Perch" Advantage: You’ll notice this house has no perch. This is intentional! Wrens are agile and don't need one, but sparrows and other invaders do. The lack of a perch is your first line of defense in keeping your Michigan wrens safe.
• Jute Rope Care: This house comes with an attached jute rope or cable hanger. In our damp Michigan climate, we recommend checking the hanger each spring to ensure it hasn't weakened from winter moisture before the new nesting season begins.

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.

Bring the Soothing Sound of Moving Water to Your Michigan Garden—No Wires Required!

Birds are naturally drawn to the sound of splashing water, and there’s no easier way to upgrade your bird bath than with the Woodlink 25479 Solar Fountain Pump. Designed to harness our bright Michigan summer sun, this compact pump creates a beautiful water display that attracts everything from Ruby-throated Hummingbirds to Cedar Waxwings. Because it’s 100% solar-powered, you can place it anywhere in your yard without worrying about finding an outdoor outlet or tripping over extension cords.

• Four Customizable Spray Patterns: Includes four interchangeable nozzles that allow you to choose your favorite water style, from a gentle bubble to a high-reaching spray.
• Eco-Friendly Performance: Powered entirely by a high-efficiency solar panel, this pump costs $0 to run and is completely environment-friendly.
• Plug-and-Play Setup: Designed for "set it and forget it" ease—simply place the pump in at least 1.2 inches of water, position the solar panel in direct sunlight, and watch your fountain come to life in seconds.
• Durable & Compact: At just 4.5 inches in diameter, this fountain fits perfectly in standard bird baths, small ponds, or even a decorative whiskey barrel.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Mosquito Defense": Stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes in the Great Lakes State. Pro-Tip: Use this fountain to keep your bird bath water moving; mosquitoes cannot lay eggs in rippling water, making your backyard safer for your family and your birds.
• Hummingbird Magnet: While most birds like to wade, Michigan’s Ruby-throated Hummingbirds actually prefer to "fly through" a fine mist. Use the highest-spray nozzle setting on sunny afternoons to provide a refreshing shower for these tiny visitors.
• The "Shadow" Factor: Solar pumps are sensitive. Even the shadow of a single Michigan Maple leaf falling across the panel can cause the pump to stop or stutter. Ensure your panel is placed in a spot that gets uninterrupted direct sunlight from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
• Winter Care: This pump is a "summer specialist." To protect the motor and the solar cells from Michigan’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles, bring the unit indoors once the first frost hits in October. Store it in a dry place like your garage or basement until spring.

Compact, airtight, and ready for the shifting Michigan seasons.

Its slim, space-saving design fits perfectly in a garage or shed, while the heavy-duty plastic construction ensures your seed stays fresh for your favorite visitors, from Northern Cardinals to American Goldfinches.

Because Michigan’s Hardworking Birds Deserve a Fresh Drink!
While feeders provide the fuel, water is the secret to a truly diverse Michigan backyard. The Audubon NAW32GL Glass Water Feeder is a game-changer for local birders. During our humid July afternoons or those dry, snowless stretches of winter, this high-capacity reservoir ensures your feathered neighbors stay hydrated without you needing to refill a small dish every few hours.

• Massive 32 oz Reservoir: One of the largest waterers on the market, holding a full quart of fresh water. This is a lifesaver for busy Michigan families who want to provide for their birds even on long weekends "up north."
• 360° Wraparound Perch: Designed with a wide basin and a perfectly sized circular perch, it allows multiple birds—from Eastern Bluebirds to Black-capped Chickadees—to drink and preen at the same time.
• Durable Blue-Tinted Glass: The thick, high-quality glass reservoir isn't just beautiful; it's built to last. Unlike plastic waterers that can crack or cloud in the Michigan sun, this glass stays clear and is a breeze to sanitize.
• Easy Monitoring: The transparent design lets you check water levels from your kitchen window, so you know exactly when it’s time for a top-off.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Liquid Gold" Secret: Many Michigan birds, like American Robins and Cedar Waxwings, don't visit seed feeders but will flock to your yard for a reliable water source. Adding this waterer can instantly double the variety of species in your garden.
• Summer Algae Defense: Michigan’s summer humidity can turn still water green quickly. Pro-Tip: Hang this feeder in a partially shaded area to keep the water cool and slow down algae growth.
• The Winter Freeze Warning: While water is vital during Michigan winters, glass can crack if the water freezes solid. We recommend bringing this glass unit inside when the forecast calls for a deep freeze, or swapping it for a heated birdbath during the peak of January.
• Sanitation is Key: Birds drink and bathe in the same water. To keep your local flock healthy and prevent the spread of avian diseases, we recommend a quick scrub with a 9:1 water-to-vinegar solution every few days.

Bring "Pure Michigan" Elegance to Your Garden with the Ultimate Hummingbird Haven!

There is no more magical sight in a Michigan summer than the iridescent flash of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. The Audubon 24908 (WL35240) is designed to be the crown jewel of your backyard. This sophisticated feeder combines vintage aesthetic charm with modern functionality, featuring a beautiful clear embossed glass reservoir and stunning rust-resistant copper accents that shimmer in the Great Lakes sun.

• Four High-Efficiency Ports: Equipped with 4 no-drip, flower-shaped feeding stations, this feeder allows multiple "hummers" to dine at once. Each port includes an integrated perch, inviting your guests to sit and stay awhile—giving you a better look at their vibrant colors.
• Built for Mitten Weather: The heavy-duty glass reservoir and rust-resistant copper-finished metal base are built to withstand Michigan’s humid July afternoons and sudden lake-effect rain showers without fading or corroding.
• User-Friendly Design: Maintenance is a breeze with the decorative screw-off base and wide-mouth reservoir. The glass bottle is top-rack dishwasher safe, ensuring you can provide a sanitary environment for your feathered friends with minimal effort.
• Perfectly Sized: The 14 oz capacity is the "Goldilocks" size for Michigan backyards—large enough to keep up with peak migration but small enough to ensure nectar stays fresh and doesn't spoil in the summer heat. 

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Tax Day" Target: In Michigan, our Ruby-throated Hummingbirds typically arrive between late April and early May. Pro-Tip: Get this feeder out by April 15th. Even if you don't see them yet, the "scouts" are looking for reliable food sources as they move north!
• Shade is Your Friend: Michigan’s summer sun can cause sugar water to ferment quickly. To keep your nectar fresh for 3-5 days, hang this feeder in a partially shaded area. This prevents the glass from acting like a greenhouse and "cooking" the nectar.
• The DIY Recipe: Don't use red dye—it can be harmful to these tiny birds! Simply mix 1 part white granulated sugar to 4 parts boiling water. Let it cool completely before filling. The red flowers on the base are all the "color" you need to attract them.
• Beat the Ants: Our Michigan ants love sugar as much as the birds do. We recommend hanging this from an Ant Moat filled with water to create a "drawbridge" that keeps crawling pests out of your nectar.

Keep Your Michigan Garden Tidy and Your Ground-Feeders Happy!

Tired of seeing your expensive birdseed disappear into the grass or attract unwanted "nighttime visitors"? The Audubon 23921 (NATUBETRAY) is the perfect cleanup solution for any Mitten State birding station. This durable, 10.5-inch tray catches falling seeds and hulls before they hit the ground, effectively turning your tube feeder into a multi-level dining experience for the whole flock.

• Universal Attachment: Designed to fit seamlessly onto all Woodlink and Audubon tube feeders (including the 8-Port Finch and 22-inch Yellow Finch models) using the included hardware. It also comes with a special plug adapter to fit many competitor brands.
• Accommodate More Species: By providing a stable, flat surface, you’ll attract beautiful Michigan ground-feeders like Northern Cardinals, Mourning Doves, and Dark-eyed Juncos who often struggle to perch on narrow tube feeders.
• Mitten-Weather Resistant: Crafted from high-impact, UV-stabilized polycarbonate, this tray won't yellow in the summer sun or crack during a sub-zero "Polar Vortex" winter.
• Smart Drainage: Features a double row of built-in drainage holes to ensure your seed stays dry and mold-free through sudden Great Lakes rain showers and heavy lake-effect snow.

🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤

• The "Anti-Critter" Barrier: In Michigan, fallen seed is like a dinner bell for raccoons, opossums, and rodents. By catching the overflow, you keep the food off the ground and away from your home’s foundation, significantly reducing unwanted pest visits.
• Winter Ice Clearing: After a Michigan freezing rain event, the drainage holes can glaze over. Pro-Tip: Give the tray a quick, firm tap with a wooden spoon or mallet to break the ice; the heavy-duty plastic is built to take it without shattering.
• Cardinal Comfort: While Cardinals can use tube perches, they are much more comfortable on a flat platform. Adding this tray to your sunflower feeder will often double the number of Northern Cardinals visiting your yard at dawn and dusk.
• Spring Mud Defense: During our "mud season" in April, seed that hits the ground quickly rots and can grow harmful bacteria. This tray keeps the food elevated, clean, and safe for your spring nesting pairs.

The Woodlink COPTUBE9 Brushed Copper Mega Tube Feeder (Item 24560) is a premium, high-capacity mixed seed feeder designed for serious bird enthusiasts. It features a large 4-inch diameter polycarbonate tube and heavy-duty die-cast zinc hardware with a stylish brushed copper finish.
