If you grow fruits, vegetables, or berries in your Michigan backyard, you’ve probably noticed that birds sometimes arrive right when your harvest is ready. The Holographic Bird Scare Tape is a simple and humane way to help protect your garden while keeping birds safe.
This reflective tape works by flashing bright holographic reflections when sunlight hits it and the wind moves it. The constantly shifting light patterns create visual flashes that birds find unsettling, helping to discourage them from landing in protected areas.
The tape measures 3/4 inch wide and 100 feet long, giving you plenty of material to protect multiple areas of your yard. Its silver surface with moving holographic patterns catches sunlight and creates flashing reflections that help keep birds away from fruit trees, berry bushes, and grapevines.
Simply cut the tape into strips and tie them to tree branches, trellises, garden stakes, fences, or railings. As the strips move in the wind, they produce constant motion and reflective flashes that help deter birds naturally.
Many Michigan gardeners use scare tape throughout the growing season to help protect ripening berries, grapes, tomatoes, and orchard fruit without using chemicals or traps. It’s an easy, low-maintenance way to reduce crop damage while maintaining a bird-friendly backyard environment.

If birds or small pests are causing trouble around your garden, patio, or fruit trees, a predator decoy can help keep them away naturally. The Rotating Head Owl Decoy is designed to mimic one of nature’s most effective bird predators, helping discourage nuisance birds from gathering in unwanted areas.
This hand-painted scarecrow owl features impressive detail that gives it a highly realistic appearance.

If birds are helping themselves to your garden, fruit trees, or berry bushes, the Guard’N Eyes Reflective Bird Deterrent Balloon offers a simple and humane way to help protect your outdoor spaces. Designed to mimic the appearance of predator eyes, this bird-scaring balloon creates a visual signal that encourages nuisance birds to stay away.
The balloon features large reflective “eyes” that flash and move with the wind. When sunlight hits the surface, the reflections create changing light patterns that birds find unsettling. This visual deterrent helps discourage birds from landing near the areas you want to protect.
Bird-scaring balloons like Guard’N Eyes are commonly used in orchards, nurseries, and gardens to help protect crops from pest birds. Many Michigan gardeners use them around fruit trees, berry bushes, vegetable gardens, and patios to help reduce crop damage without harming wildlife.
Simply hang the balloon from a tree branch, garden stake, or fence where birds tend to gather. As it moves in the breeze and reflects sunlight, it helps create a constant warning signal that encourages birds to look for safer places to feed.
Whether you're protecting ripening berries or trying to keep birds away from specific areas of your yard, the Guard’N Eyes deterrent balloon provides an easy and effective solution for backyard gardens.

- Adjustable Protection: The clear 12-inch dome slides up and down the center rod. Pro-Tip: Lower the dome to just above the tray to allow small bluebirds in while physically blocking larger, aggressive birds like Starlings and Blue Jays.

-
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.
- Model: 24213 / NABBFDR
- UPC: 0715038311997
- Dimensions: 12" H x 10.5" W (Dome is approx. 12" diameter)

The Nature's Way® Mason Jar Hummingbird Feeder (NWBMJF1) combines vintage farmhouse aesthetics with modern bird-feeding technology. Designed for those who appreciate the classic "shabby chic" look, this feeder is a highly functional station tailored for Michigan’s favorite seasonal visitors.
Unlike massive feeders where nectar often spoils in the humid Great Lakes heat before it can be finished, this 6oz reservoir is the ideal size for frequent refreshes. The wide-mouth glass jar and completely removable parts make it one of the easiest feeders on the market to maintain, ensuring a safe and sanitary dining experience for your backyard "flying jewels."
Why You’ll Love It
-
Farmhouse Style: The clear glass jar features a decorative embossed hummingbird design, adding a touch of Michigan cottage character to any outdoor space.
-
Innovative Leak-Free Ports: Equipped with four flexible, flower-shaped feeding ports that provide a tight seal, preventing the drips and waste common in traditional gravity feeders.
-
Easy Fill & Clean™: Every component—from the stainless steel lid to the individual flowers—comes apart effortlessly. The glass jar and ports are top-rack dishwasher safe.
-
Rust-Resistant Hardware: Includes high-quality stainless steel components built to withstand Michigan's spring rains and summer humidity without corroding.
Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder
-
Freshness First: Because Michigan summers can be quite humid, a smaller feeder like the NWBMJF1 is a strategic choice. By refilling smaller amounts more often, you ensure the nectar stays fresh and free from harmful fermentation.
-
Keep it Level: To prevent accidental spills, ensure the feeder is hung perfectly level. This is especially important for dish-style feeders to keep the nectar accessible to all four ports.
-
High-Visibility Placement: Since the jar is clear, the bright red flower ports are the primary signal to birds. Hang this feeder near red or tubular native plants like Wild Columbine or Bee Balm to create a high-visibility "bullseye" for migrating hummers.

Michigan-Rugged Construction: Unlike thin plastic alternatives, this feeder is made of sturdy powder-coated steel. It is built to survive our brisk May winds and those sudden Great Lakes rain showers.

- Space for the Whole Family: Equipped with four perches, this feeder allows multiple birds to land and dine comfortably at once, reducing the territorial bickering often seen at smaller stations.
🧤 Backyard Birds: Michigan Pro-Tips 🧤
- The "First Sighting" Secret: Michigan orioles are often heard before they are seen. Listen for their clear, flute-like whistle in late April. Pro-Tip: Get this feeder out by April 20th. Once they find a reliable "jelly joint," they are likely to stay in your neighborhood for the entire nesting season.
- The Mealworm Migration: In early June, when Michigan orioles are feeding their young, they crave protein. Pro-Tip: Swap the jelly in one of the glass cups for live or dried mealworms. You’ll be helping the parents provide essential nutrients to the next generation of Michigan songbirds.
- Ant-Proofing Your Station: Because this metal feeder does not have a built-in moat, our Michigan ants will find the jelly quickly. We recommend hanging this from an ant moat filled with water to keep your grape jam pest-free.
- Fruit Variety: While oranges are the standard, Michigan orioles also love dark grapes or even halved plums. Use the metal spikes to experiment with different seasonal fruits to see what your local flock prefers.

-
Feeder Matching: Because of its large 3 lb footprint, this block will not fit into a standard small wire cage. Ensure you pair this product with specialized large-capacity suet basket feeders or open-bottom suet roofs.

-
Shaded Summer Use: While highly stable, hanging large suet cakes in a partially shaded area during hot summer afternoons preserves the aroma and stops natural peanut oils from drying out too quickly under the direct sun.

-
Placement for Success: Hang your red nectar feeder near tubular flowers like Cardinal Flower or Trumpet Vine to create a "pollinator pocket" that hummingbirds simply can't resist.
-
Cleaning is Key: Even with high-quality nectar, mold can grow on feeding ports. Give your feeder a quick scrub with a bottle brush every time you refill it with this ready-to-use formula.
