Safflower Small Cylinders 1.9#

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.

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.
