Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review: This Yankee Flipper squirrel-proof feeder is the ultimate feeder for keeping your feathered friends fed, and the furred fiends hungry. Let's talk about the basics first. The sturdy polycarbonate feeding chamber is a whopping 4-3/4 inches in diameter and 21 inches long, giving you a break between refills--and ensuring that squirrels can't hang down from the top to reach seed. The four feeding chambers are easily accessible via the perch ring, and the interior of the chamber is designed to direct seed into the seed ports.

Now, for the fun stuff: The birdfeeder features an encased motor and rechargeable (and replaceable) batteries. When you receive the feeder, simply charge the batteries overnight, hang the feeder from its looped bail wire, and prepare to be amazed (and entertained!). The motor is connected to the weight activated perch ring--birds will not set it off, even larger species like woodpeckers and cardinals. But the minute a squirrel hops onto the perch, the motor is triggered and the feeder begins spinning, taking the squirrel for a whirl before it loses its grip and is thrown (gently) from the perch. It's a humanitarian way to deal with persistent squirrels--there are no shocks or poisons to hurt them, simply a wild ride that they won't be inclined to repeat. Birds are free to eat without disruption, and your family will get a kick out of watching squirrels go for their rides. There's a lifetime warranty on the feeder body and a one-year warranty on the motor and battery charger. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

Product Description: A fun, exciting, entertaining, and 100% squirrel proof feeder. The tube is 4 3 4" wide and constructed of UV stabilized polycarbonate for durability. The tube is also long enough so squirrels cannot reach down and get seed. Tube cap is metal for durabilit

For the Birds!

by 2001-02-10, 14 people found this review helpful
We have a love/hate relationship with the squirrels. My husband admires how smart they are. I hate how they foil every attempt to keep them out of the bird feeders.

Our yard used to be "taken over" by squirrels. Our squirrels bullied the birds, even chased them away. We used to put the more expensive foods out for the birds, but stopped when we realized the birds weren't getting any food at all! We tried every "squirrel proof" feeder on the market, but the furry little thieves ended up getting the food anyway.

Now that we own the Yankee Flipper, the birds eat like kings and the squirrels only get the crumbs. Occassionally they still try to get on the feeder, but a few spins cures them everythime. Now the expensive food gets eaten by the birds, and the squirrels have moved on to more accessible feeders in our neighbors yards.

Now if I could just do something about my husband who feels so sorry for the squirrels that he has started giving them their own stash of food!

All that I expected and more!

I have been battling the squirrels with limited success for years. Either the feeders didn't stop the squirrels at all or they were so dang ugly I didn't want them in my yard. The squirrels even ate a few of the "squirrel proof" feeder I tried.

I'm pretty cheap, but the Droll Yankee Co. seems to have a good reputation so I wasn't too reluctant to part with the bucks for this feeder. My first impression was that it is a lot larger than I expected and seemed to be sturdier than most feeders.

I plugged it in and let it charge overnight (it charges like a power screwdriver), filled it with black-oil sunflower and hung it in my favorite bird feeder tree the next morning. My Carolina-chickadees and Cardinals were feeding within thirty minutes, Mr.Squirrel made his first attempt after about an hour. There is really no way I can describe what followed. Let's just say I have some really freaked out squirrels around my house.

I have had the feeder up for over a month, the squirrels have been forced to feed from the spilled seed on the ground and the feeder is still operating from the original charge.

This feeder is is worth every penny and then some. I wish I could give it more than five stars.

This is it! This is it!! Finally, finally, a squirrel solution!

This is absolutely the end of your squirrel problems.

I have battled and battled and battled squirrels and wasted a fortune in non-squirrel-proof feeders and an even bigger fortune in bird food that went straight to making annoying little squirrels into realy annoying well-fed fat squirrels.

THIS BABY WORKS.

One comment: the handbook explains that there will be a "lag time" between when squirrels realize that it's not worth their energy to try a grab a couple of kernels, and the time when birds realize it is there.

I found this to be exactly true, although it took a little longer than the booklet predicted.

It took my squirrels about 4-5 days to "get it" that their energy expenditure was not worth the tiny amount of food they might be able to grab while being flipped. In the meantime their machinations provided enormous humor to my family.

It also took our birds about FIVE WEEKS to realize the feeder was there and was safe. I grew quite despondent during that period (did I really just spend $83 bucks on a feeder that's never going to be used????) but our patience was rewarded and we now have scores of backyard birds enjoying the heck out of our treats.

This is the ultimate gardening triumph: "A No Regrets Purchase." Buy it! You'll never look back.
