🧤 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.

The Safflower Small Cylinder (9863) is the ultimate "problem-solver" for Michigan bird feeding stations. Safflower is widely known as the "miracle seed" because it has a bitter taste that squirrels, raccoons, and even "bully" birds like Common Grackles and European Starlings generally dislike.

However, your favorite colorful songbirds—especially Northern Cardinals, Tufted Titmice, and Chickadees—absolutely love it. This 1.9lb cylinder format is highly compressed, ensuring it lasts much longer than loose seed and stays put even during the gusty winds of a Great Lakes spring.

Why You’ll Love It

• Natural Deterrent: Effectively filters out unwanted guests at your feeder without the use of spicy additives or expensive cages.

• Bulk Value: This listing covers 12 cases, making it an ideal stock-up choice for the peak winter and spring feeding seasons.

• Long-Lasting Convenience: The solid cylinder format prevents "hulling and tossing" by birds, meaning the food lasts longer and creates less waste on the ground.

• Weather Resistant: Held together with high-quality food-grade gelatin that won't melt in the humid Michigan summer or fall apart in the snow.

Guaranteed Analysis

• Crude Protein: Not Less Than 15.0%

• Crude Fat: Not Less Than 25.0%

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder

• Cardinal Magnet: If you want to see more Northern Cardinals, place this cylinder in a quiet area of your yard. They are particularly fond of safflower and will visit frequently once they find it.

• Feeder Compatibility: Fits perfectly on any standard cylinder feeder or spindle. For a unique look, it can also be placed on a flat platform feeder.

• Transition Tip: If your birds are used to sunflower seeds, it may take them a few days to adjust to a 100% safflower cylinder. Once they start, they will be loyal visitors.

Whole Corn (1086) is a versatile and essential energy source for Michigan farms and backyards. These select kernels are air-dried and thoroughly cleaned to minimize foreign material, ensuring you are providing high-quality nutrition to your animals.

Whole corn is a favorite for "scattering" to attract white-tailed deer and wild turkeys, and it is a staple for supplemental feeding of livestock like cattle, goats, and sheep. Because the kernels are whole, they are also excellent for use in many types of automatic wildlife feeders commonly used throughout the Great Lakes region.

Why You’ll Love It

• High Energy Source: Packed with the carbohydrates animals need to maintain body condition, especially during the cold Michigan winter months.

• Cleaned & Sifted: Processed to remove excess dust and stalks, leading to less waste and a cleaner feeding area.

• Multi-Species Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of animals, including poultry, waterfowl, squirrels, and large game.

• Bulk Value: The 50lb bag is the most economical way to manage large-scale feeding projects or wildlife plots.

Guaranteed Analysis

• Crude Protein: Not Less Than 7.5%

• Crude Fat: Not Less Than 2.5%

• Crude Fiber: Not More Than 5.0%

Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder & Outdoorsman

• Winter Survival: Corn is a "heat-producing" food. Feeding whole corn in the evening helps deer and turkeys generate body heat as they digest through the night.

• Storage Advice: To prevent visits from local raccoons or rodents, store your 1086 bag in a moisture-proof, metal container with a locking lid.

• Squirrel Distraction: If squirrels are raiding your bird feeders, try placing a dedicated "corn pile" at the far end of your yard to distract them from your more expensive nut and seed blends.

Specifications

• SKU / Code: 1086

• Weight: 50 lbs

• Ingredients: Whole Shelled Corn

• Target Species: Deer, Turkey, Squirrels, Poultry, Waterfowl

• 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.
