Galvanized Seed Storage Can w/ Lid - 5 Gal. (9905)

The Galvanized Seed Storage Can (9905) is the gold standard for long-term bird seed storage. Built from heavy-duty, galvanized steel, this 5-gallon container provides an impenetrable barrier against rodents, squirrels, and insects that often compromise plastic storage bins. Its tight-fitting lid keeps moisture out, ensuring your high-quality seed blends stay dry, fresh, and free from mold. Whether you are storing sunflower seeds, suet crumbles, or premium nut mixes, this can provides the reliable protection needed to keep your backyard birds' diet in peak condition. Why You’ll Love It Rodent-Proof Construction: Unlike plastic bins, this galvanized steel container cannot be chewed through by mice, rats, or persistent squirrels. Moisture Resistant: The durable metal construction protects your seed from humidity and rain, preventing the seed clumping and rot that can happen in thinner containers. Space-Efficient: With a 5-gallon capacity, it is the perfect size to hold a standard bag of bird seed without taking up excessive space in your garage or shed. Built to Last: Galvanized steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring this will be a permanent fixture in your storage arsenal for years to come. Features Material: Heavy-duty, rust-resistant galvanized steel. Lid: Secure, tight-fitting lid to lock in freshness and keep pests out. Handles: Sturdy side handles for easy carrying and pouring. Capacity: 5 Gallons (ideal for most 10lb to 20lb bags of bird seed). Pro Tips for the Michigan Birder Labeling: Use a simple magnetic label on the side of the can to identify the specific type of seed or blend inside (e.g., "Black Oil Sunflower" or "Woodpecker Mix") for quick access. Placement: Keep your storage can off the floor by placing it on a wooden pallet or shelf; this prevents the metal from sweating due to temperature changes and further protects the bottom from moisture. Pest Control: Even though the can is rodent-proof, keeping it clean by wiping out any residual dust between refills will help prevent insect eggs from hatching.
