Inspired by the rich mining history of Michigan’s Copper Country, the Audubon 24562 (COP6TUBE) combines high-end style with rugged Great Lakes durability. This 6-port thistle feeder features a stunning brushed copper finish on the lid, base, and ports, making it a beautiful focal point for any garden from Traverse City to the Detroit suburbs.
- Six Precision-Feeding Ports: Designed specifically for tiny-beaked specialists like American Goldfinches and Pine Siskins. Each port features a durable metal perch, allowing your guests to dine comfortably while resisting the "chew-damage" common with plastic alternatives.
- Built Michigan-Rugged: The UV-stabilized polycarbonate tube won't yellow in the summer sun or become brittle during a -10°F February wind chill. The rust-resistant copper-finished metal hardware is built to handle our humid lake-effect air without corroding.
- The "Stay-Dry" Reservoir: Holds approximately 1 lb of Nyjer (thistle) seed. The snug-fitting metal lid keeps out Michigan’s sudden rain showers and heavy snow, ensuring your expensive seed stays fresh and flowable.
- Easy Maintenance: The lid slides up the heavy-duty hanging wire for effortless refilling. The clear tube allows you to monitor seed levels from your kitchen window, so you know exactly when it’s time for a top-off.
🧤 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.
- Model: 24562 / COP6F (COP6TUBE)
- UPC: 047977011912
- Capacity: 1 lb of Nyjer (Thistle) seed
- Dimensions: 12" H x 5.5" W
- Materials: Brushed copper-finished zinc die-cast metal and polycarbonate tube
Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Keweenaw Peninsula, the COPTMINI Brushed Copper Mini Feeder is the perfect choice for Michigan birders who want to attract finches without the bulk of a full-sized tube. This small-but-mighty feeder is a favorite at Backyard Birds because it forces birds to "cling" to the mesh, providing you with fantastic views of their acrobatic feeding habits.
Cling-Style Mesh Design: The fine steel mesh is specifically sized for Nyjer (thistle) seed. Because there are no traditional perches, you’ll attract acrobatic specialists like American Goldfinches and Pine Siskins while discouraging "bully birds" that prefer a flat place to sit.
- Michigan-Ready Finish: The rust-resistant aluminum copper finish isn't just for looks—it’s designed to handle our salty lake air and damp spring mornings without corroding.
- Small Footprint, Big Impact: Holding 0.5 lbs of seed, it’s the ideal "starter" feeder or secondary station for a small patio or balcony.
- Easy-Slide Maintenance: The metal roof slides up the hanging cable for quick refills. Built-in drainage holes at the base ensure your seed stays dry through a sudden Mackinac rain shower.
🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤
- The "Goldfinch Magnet": In Michigan, goldfinches are particularly fond of screen feeders because they can feed upside down or sideways—something they naturally do on wildflowers like wild bergamot or coneflowers.
- Humidity Watch: Because screen feeders expose the seed to the air more than plastic tubes, Michigan's humidity can sometimes cause seed to stick. Pro-Tip: Only fill this "Mini" feeder halfway during our humid August dog days to ensure the seed stays fresh and doesn't clump.
- Winter De-Icing: During a classic Michigan ice storm, the mesh can sometimes glaze over. A quick tap with a wooden spoon will break the ice and free up the seed for your winter residents like the Common Redpoll.
- Chickadee Bonus: While designed for finches, our local Black-capped Chickadees are expert clingers and will often visit this feeder for a quick high-energy snack during a cold snap.
- Capacity: 0.5 lbs of Nyjer (Thistle) seed.
- Dimensions: 3.75" L x 3.75" W x 9.75" H.
- Materials: Rust-resistant aluminum copper finish with steel mesh.
- Weight: Extremely lightweight at 0.35 lbs (empty).
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.

Product Overview
Hot Pepper Suet Nuggets™ (446107) are a powerful tool for any birder dealing with persistent squirrels. Because birds lack the receptors to taste the "heat" of red peppers, they can enjoy these high-fat treats while squirrels, raccoons, and other mammals find them highly unpalatable.
These versatile nuggets can be fed alone on a platform feeder or in a dedicated nugget/peanut feeder. For a strategic advantage, they are ideal when mixed with 5–10 lbs of wild bird seed in a traditional feeder, helping to "spice protect" your entire seed supply.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Squirrel Deterrent: Naturally discourages mammals without the use of harmful chemicals.
-
Versatile Feeding: Can be used solo or as a "booster" mixed into your favorite loose seed blends.

Pro Tips for the Backyard Birder
-
Bluebird Favorite: Eastern Bluebirds are frequently drawn to the soft texture and high fat content of these nuggets, especially during early spring when natural insect supplies are low.
-
Safe Handling: Because these nuggets contain real red pepper, always wash your hands thoroughly after filling your feeders to avoid accidental eye or nose irritation.
-
The "Mixed Grill" Strategy: Stirring these into your standard sunflower or safflower seed is a cost-effective way to teach local squirrels that your station is no longer on their menu.

The Classic Brands 3-in-1 Hummingbird Feeder (CBL30) is the ultimate "get-close" feeder for Michigan bird lovers. Designed with versatility in mind, this compact 6oz feeder adapts to however you want to watch your birds. Whether you want to hang it from a hook, place it in a flower pot, or hold it in your hand, this feeder makes it happen.
Its small 6oz capacity is a strategic advantage for the humid Great Lakes summer. By providing a smaller amount of nectar, you’ll naturally refresh the food more often, ensuring your visiting Ruby-throats always have the freshest, safest energy source. The bright red cover serves as an instant attractant, mimicking the vibrant blooms of a Michigan garden.
Why You’ll Love It

-
Three Feeding Ports: Features integrated flower-style ports that provide a natural feeding position for your backyard visitors.

Easy-to-Clean Dish Design: The simple "saucer" style base pops open for easy scrubbing, which is essential for preventing mold growth during a muggy July heatwave.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The Hand-Feeding Challenge: To hand-feed, start by hanging the CBL30 in a consistent spot. Once the birds are used to it, try sitting near it. Eventually, hold the feeder in your hand while sitting in your usual spot—you’ll be amazed at how brave Michigan hummingbirds can be!
-
Pot-Side Placement: Use the stake mount to place this feeder directly into a hanging basket of petunias or a pot of salvia. This creates a "natural" feeding station that birds will find irresistible.
-
Freshness First: In Southern Michigan, where summer humidity can be high, change the nectar in this 6oz dish every 2 days to keep it from fermenting.

When the peak of the Michigan hummingbird season hits in July and August, you need a feeder that can keep up with the crowd. The Classic Brands Garnet Glass Hummingbird Feeder (CBL36) is a heavy-duty, high-capacity station designed specifically for those "busy" yards where multiple Ruby-throated Hummingbirds compete for a spot.
The deep red "Garnet" glass reservoir isn't just a beautiful addition to your patio; it serves as a powerful visual attractant. Because the glass itself provides the necessary red color to catch a bird's eye, you can safely use clear, dye-free nectar. With seven feeding ports, this feeder minimizes "territorial guarding" by giving more birds a place to perch and drink at once.
Why You’ll Love It
-
High-Capacity Station: The 20oz reservoir means fewer trips to the kitchen for refills during the height of the Great Lakes summer.
-
Seven Feeding Ports: Most feeders only offer 3 or 4 ports; the CBL36 nearly doubles that, allowing a whole family of hummingbirds to feed simultaneously.
-
Durable Garnet Glass: Thick, high-quality glass provides a vintage look that won't fade or degrade in the intense Michigan sun.
-
Easy-to-Clean Base: The base comes apart easily, allowing you to scrub every nook and cranny to keep your nectar fresh and safe for your visitors.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
Beat the "Bully" Bird: Hummingbirds can be notoriously territorial. If you have one "bully" bird chasing others away from this 7-port feeder, try hanging a second, smaller feeder (like a 6oz Mason jar style) on the opposite side of your house out of its sight.
-
Shade is Your Friend: While the CBL36 glass is tough, hanging it in a spot with afternoon shade will keep the 20oz of nectar from heating up too much, which helps prevent fermentation during a humid Michigan "heat dome" event.
-
Spring Arrival: Get this feeder hung by the first week of May in Southern Michigan. Those early arrivals are hungry and looking for a reliable, high-volume source of energy.

If you are looking for a feeder that is as beautiful as the birds it attracts, the Classic Brands Jewel Glass Hummingbird Feeder (CBL76) is a showstopper. The thick, red-tinted glass bottle features a unique textured "jewel" pattern that catches the Michigan sunlight, acting as a natural prism to lure hummingbirds from across the yard.
With a generous 20oz capacity, this feeder is perfect for the peak of the Great Lakes summer when local hummingbird populations are at their highest. The base is designed for both functionality and style, featuring five feeding ports modeled after real flowers to provide a natural dining experience for your backyard "flying jewels."
Why You’ll Love It
-
Antique Elegance: The heavy-duty red glass bottle offers a classic look that complements any garden, from modern patios to rustic Michigan cottage landscapes.
-
High Visibility: The deep red color of the glass itself is the primary attractant for hummingbirds, meaning you can use clear, dye-free nectar and still draw them in.
-
Five Feeding Ports: Provides enough space for multiple birds to feed simultaneously, reducing "territorial squabbles" during the busy nesting season
-
Durable Construction: Unlike plastic feeders that can degrade in the sun, this high-quality glass reservoir is built to last for many seasons.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
Shade Strategy: While the CBL76 glass is durable, hanging it in a spot that gets morning sun and afternoon shade will help keep the 20oz of nectar from fermenting too quickly during a humid Michigan July.
-
Easy Cleaning: To keep your hummingbirds healthy, rinse the glass bottle with a mild vinegar and water solution once a week. The wide-mouth design makes it easy to get a bottle brush inside.
-
Ant Prevention: Since glass feeders can be heavy when full, ensure you use a sturdy metal hook or a dedicated bird-feeding pole. Adding an ant moat above this feeder will keep those pesky Michigan sugar ants out of the nectar.

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

-
Keep it Cool: To prevent your 20oz of nectar from fermenting during a humid Michigan "Heat Dome," try to hang the Jubilee in a spot that receives morning sun but afternoon shade.

The Classic Brands Large Lantern Plastic Hopper Feeder (CBL108) is a workhorse for any Michigan backyard bird sanctuary. Designed with a charming lantern silhouette, this feeder combines high-capacity storage with functional weather protection.

With a generous 3.8lb capacity, the CBL108 is built for the bird lover who wants to spend more time watching and less time refilling. The hopper-style design gravity-feeds seed into the surrounding tray as birds eat, ensuring a constant supply of fresh food for your local Northern Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Tufted Titmice.
Why You’ll Love It
-
All-Weather Protection: The wide, overhanging "lantern" roof acts as an umbrella, shielding the seed from Michigan’s sudden spring downpours and heavy winter lake-effect snow.

Large 3.8lb Reservoir: Perfect for high-traffic feeding stations or for those weekends away at the cottage—you won't have to worry about the birds running out of fuel.

360-Degree Feeding Tray: Allows multiple birds to perch and feed from all sides simultaneously, reducing "feeder fights" during busy morning rushes.
- UV-Stabilized Plastic: Built to resist fading and cracking under the intense July sun, ensuring the hunter green color stays vibrant for seasons to come.

Cardinal Comfort: Northern Cardinals prefer to face forward while they eat. The wide tray on this CBL108 provides the perfect stable platform for them to land and linger.
-
Seed Choice: Fill this hopper with a high-quality "No-Waste" mix or Black Oil Sunflower seeds. In a Michigan winter, these high-fat options are vital for birds trying to survive sub-zero nights.

Sometimes the "Little Bit" makes the biggest difference! The Classic Brands Little Bit Finch Feeder (CBL38194) is the ideal entry-level or space-saving solution for Michigan birders who want to attract American Goldfinches without committing to a massive feeding station.
Despite its compact 0.5lb capacity, this feeder utilizes a high-quality diamond-mesh screen that allows finches to cling to the sides and feed from any position. The bright yellow roof and base act as a visual "welcome sign" for Goldfinches, which are year-round residents in the Great Lakes state but especially active during the warm summer months.
Why You’ll Love It
-
All-Over Clinging Area: No perches required! Multiple birds can land and feed at the same time, reducing territorial "squabbles" in your yard.
-
Freshness First: Because of its smaller size, the seed is cycled through quickly. This is a huge advantage in Michigan’s humid climate, as it prevents expensive Nyjer (thistle) seed from clumping or spoiling.
-
Superior Drainage: The open-mesh design allows rainwater to pass straight through, ensuring the seed stays dry and palatable for your backyard visitors.
-
Tough & Tiny: Features a durable metal mesh and UV-stabilized powder-coated yellow finish that won't fade or peel under the intense July sun.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
Apartment-Friendly: If you live in a condo or apartment with a small balcony, the CBL38194 is the perfect size to hang from a railing or a small bracket without taking up too much room.
-
The "Nyjer" Specialist: Only use Nyjer (Thistle) seed or fine sunflower hearts in this feeder. Standard bird seed is too large for the mesh and will cause clogs.
-
Seed Maintenance: Every few days, give the feeder a gentle shake to move the seed around. This ensures the birds always have access to the freshest bits at the edge of the screen.

The Classic Brands Yellow Finch Screen Feeder (CBL38115) is a "must-have" for any Michigan birder who wants to see more American Goldfinches. The vibrant yellow roof and base aren't just for show—they act as a visual signal to our state's "wild canaries," drawing them in to discover the feast within.
Constructed with a high-quality diamond-mesh screen, this feeder allows birds to cling anywhere on the surface. Unlike tube feeders with limited perches, the CBL38115 accommodates a large number of finches at once, making it a high-traffic hub during the peak of the Great Lakes summer and the busy fall migration.
Why You’ll Love It
-
360-Degree Feeding: The all-over mesh design means birds aren't restricted to specific perches. This allows for more birds to feed simultaneously, reducing competition and squabbles.
-
Superior Drainage: Because the sides are open mesh, rainwater and melted Michigan snow drain away instantly. This keeps your expensive Nyjer (thistle) seed dry and prevents it from clumping or molding in our humid climate.
-
Durable Construction: Features a heavy-duty metal mesh and a UV-stabilized yellow powder-coated finish that won't fade or peel under the intense July sun.
-
Easy to Fill: The roof slides up easily along the hanging wire, allowing for quick, mess-free refills of up to 1.5 lbs of seed.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
The "Nyjer" Specialist: This feeder is perfectly calibrated for Nyjer (Thistle) seed or fine sunflower hearts. Using standard wild bird mix will result in the larger seeds getting stuck and the small seeds falling out.
-
Goldfinch Magnet: In Michigan, Goldfinches are year-round residents but become most active at feeders in late summer. Place your CBL38115 near a "wild" corner of your yard with coneflowers or sunflowers to create a finch paradise.
-
Clean & Shake: Every few days, give the feeder a good shake to loosen any settled seed dust. This ensures the mesh stays clear and the fresh seed continues to flow toward the outside for the birds.
